The Road Ahead: Inclusive Urbanisation in Ordinary Time
摘要
The concluding chapter synthesises the book’s claim that PRH functions as an urban platform: predictable rent and tenure enable routine-building; calibrated governance and evening economies repair daytime gaps; and small design allowances convert standard blocks into looked-after places. It reframes inclusion as practice-based citizenship, traced through schooling continuity, commute reliability, neighbourly reciprocity, and safe, flexible public space. Comparative notes position Chongqing’s inland pathway alongside coastal urban-village and commodity-housing routes, highlighting what travels (governance templates, design kits, monitoring dashboards) and what must be localised (school access, transport sequencing, vendor policy). Limitations, data cautions, and a forward agenda for mixed-methods monitoring are set out. The chapter closes with a policy triad—keep the platform (tenure and rent), tighten the links (transport and service reliability), and design for the day (maintainable micro-infrastructure)—as a scalable, evidence-based guide for inclusive urbanisation.
