  • Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

Und die technologischen Materialisierungen der Zukunft sind bereits in den Imaginationen der Gegen- wart präsent. 1906 publizierte die britische Satire-Zeitschrift «Punch» einen Cartoon mit einer Vorausschau auf das kommende Jahr, in welcher der letzte Schrei der drahtlosen Tele- grafie dargestellt wurde (Abb. 1).1 Im Hydepark sitzen eine junge Dame und ein älterer Herr unter einem Baum. Aus ihren Kopfbedeckungen ragen Empfangsantennen. Ihre Augen richten sich gebannt auf die aus dem Kasten heraustickernden Papierstreifen. Die Frau empfängt eine amouröse Botschaft, während der Mann Resultate von Pferderennen verfolgt. Ein Gespräch findet nicht statt.

Die Vorwegnahme künftiger Möglichkeiten folgt einem Muster. Es werden bereits bekannte Elemente mit neuen Praktiken kombiniert. Der «Ticker», der die neuesten Kurse für Wertpapiere fortwährend auf Tapes schreibt, ist damals in den Börsen schon seit Längerem in Gebrauch. Neu ist die drahtlose Übermittlung von Informationen und die Zeichnung zeigt die zu erwartenden Konsequen- zen eines ortsunabhängigen Empfangs.

Die Karikatur aus dem «Simplicissimus» inszeniert das urban-mondäne Leben der Roaring twenties und stellt die drahtlose Telefonie als Hybrid zwischen dem bestbe- kannten Telefonhörer auf Klingelbrettchen und einem offensichtlich miniaturisierten, irgendwo unter der Kleidung versteckten Sender-Empfänger (Abb. 2).2 Herr Kuschke, der dem Anrufer reflexartig seinen Standort mitteilt, erhält eine neue Anweisung.
