城市與都會之間：
斷裂或連續?
都會化(metropolization)是一種遍及全球但具洲際差異的現象，可被定義為在最重要的都市群(urban agglomeration)1中追求人力與物質資源的集中；主要起源於全球化與世界性勞動分工的深化，使得有能力提供大型與多元化勞動市場、頂級水準公共服務系統、大量設施與基礎建設以及良好國際聯繫的都市群變得不僅必要，而且更具競爭力。
如同全球化一樣，都會化誘發一種均質化與差異化的雙重過程：均質化，因為相同的經濟參與者或相同類型的經濟參與者以相同的邏輯出現在所有國家和所有城市中；差異化，因為都市之間的競爭擴大加劇，突顯了差異的重要性。正是這種均質化與差異化的雙重動態性構成了發展政策的架構，並且開啟了流動多變的經濟參與者與地方參與者之間的辯論、協商與合作的空間。
現代都會(metropolis)之中的權力所在位置已從國家權力的濃縮可見表徵(例如：官僚機構、警察局…)日益轉移至由資本所支配的一套更加分散的網絡系統(例如：企業總部、經貿中心、科技園區…)。現代都會之中加劇的投資與減資的周期循環，新的都市形式興起之際旋即改變都市的景觀。現代都會經受著一種不同型式的建築、都市設計與公共政策論述之間的緊密交錯聯繫。
在像台中這樣的城市的實例中，都市變遷的過程受制於因政治不穩定與國家財政盛衰這類因素而反應在發展與投資模式上的急速擾動。像強化機動性、生態及文化變遷這樣的新挑戰，需要自根本上改變對都會化之動態性的既定看法。都市經驗必須在影響深遠且將場所與空間以嶄新且往往出乎意料之方式結合在一起的政治與經濟變遷的涵構之中著手探究。
昔日台中機場的搬遷不只意味著都市空間的釋放與土地重新發展的機會，更暗示著城市特性的轉變、城市遠景的實現以及市民榮譽感的支柱。此等發展的規模與複雜度，需要發展出一套足以應對關鍵性挑戰並在學院內部與外部影響思辯的革新與跨學科的分析模式。透過這次工作坊重新檢視台中水湳經貿生態園區的提案計畫，可以累積與交流不同的經驗、知識及技術，不是為了應用重複性的解決方法，而是為了增加這些方法調整以適應這個特殊、多變且不確定之涵構的潛力。
1: 都市群(urban agglomeration)是由一個或數個中心都市與其鄰近郊區或鄉鎮人口，或因同具都市密度水準，或因彼此功能相關，緊密結合成一個都市集合體，不考慮行政管轄區界限，通常為一城市或市鎮人口加上毗鄰的郊區人口。

2011 USC AAU + FCU+TKU International Workshop
Between City and Metropolis:
Rupture or Continuity?
The metropolization, a phenomenon worldwide but distinct according to different continents, can be defined as the pursuit of the concentration of human and material resources in the most important urban agglomerations. It results mainly from the globalization and the deepening of division of labor on a worldwide scale, which makes necessary and more competitive the urban agglomerations capable of offering large and diversified labor markets, extremely high-level services, a large number of equipments and infrastructures as well as good international linkages.
The metropolization, like the globalization, induces a double process of homogenization and differentiation: homogenization, because the same economic actors or the same type of economic actors are present with the same logic in all countries and in all cities; differentiation, because the interurban competition expands and intensifies, accentuating the importance of differences. It is this double dynamics of homogenization and differentiation that constitutes the development policy framework and opens a space for debate, transaction and partnership between mobile economic actors and local actors.
The location of power in the modern metropolis has increasingly shifted from concentrated and visible manifestations of state power to a more diffuse set of networks dominated by capital. Intensified cycles of investment and disinvestment in the modern metropolis have altered urban landscapes as new urban forms have emerged. The modern metropolis has seen a different kind of articulation between architecture, urban design and public policy discourse.
Processes of urban transformation and transition in the case of city such as Taichung have been subject to rapid perturbations in growth and investment patterns in response to factors such as political instability and the vicissitudes of state finances. New challenges such as enhanced mobility, ecology and culture change necessitate a fundamental shift in established understandings of the dynamics of metropolization. The urban experience must be explored within the context of far-reaching political and economic change that binds places and spaces together in new and often unexpected ways.
The removal of the former Taichung Airport not only means the releasing of urban space and the opportunity of land redevelopment, it especially implicates the transforming of city characters, the fulfilling of city visions and the upholding of citizen honor as well. The scale and complexity of such development necessitate the development of innovative and interdisciplinary modes of analysis that can address critical challenges and influence debates both within and outside the academy. It is through reexamining the proposed project of Taichung Gateway Park City in Shuinan area in this workshop that we can accumulate and mobilize the experience, knowledge and technique, not for applying the repetitive solutions, but for augmenting their potentialities for adaptation to this particular, changeable and uncertain context.
