Deconstructing the urban viewpoint : Exploring uneven regional development with Nancy Fraser’s notion of justice

• Uneven regional development fomented by city-centric growth agendas generates significant challenges for regional peripheries. Placing regional margins and other plural geographies at the centre, in this article we apply a normative framework based on justice theory to uncover the dominance of urban viewpoints in urban regional development policy. Departing from Nancy Fraser’s three-dimensional justice theory, we provide a deconstruction of city-centrism by illustrating how regional disparities in two regions in Sweden are not only reproduced by economic maldistribution but also by political misrepresentation and cultural misrecognition. By doing so, we illustrate the fruitfulness of applying a normative justice framework to create a broader understanding of factors that contribute to the political production of uneven regional development and need to be addressed if a transformative and progressive change is to occur.

• 以城市为中心的发展议程所引发的区域发展不平衡给边缘地区带来了重大挑战。本文以区域边缘和其他多元地理为中心，运用基于正义理论的规范框架来揭示城市观点在城市区域发展政策中的主导地位。与南希·弗雷泽 (Nancy Fraser) 的三维正义理论不同，通过证明不仅经济分配不均、而且政治歪曲和文化误认也是瑞典两个地区的地区差异得以不断复制的原因，我们对城市中心主义进行了解构。藉此，我们展示了应用规范性正义框架的成效，这能使我们更广泛地理解导致区域发展不平衡的政治产生的因素，如果要发生变革性和进步性的变化，就需要解决这些因素。
