Мобильные практики регулирования: Дизайн-код и бюджет народного участия

Abstract

The study is focused on the practices of mobility of regulatory tools as they travel significant distances between various socio-economic environments and methods of the urban daily life organization. In the recent decades this has been an especially popular line of research within the sociology of science and technology which is less frequently used for analyzing urban regulatory tools and is usually focused on the mobile forms associated with the intellectual property, pharmaceuticals or technical inventions. Conducted at the intersection of the science and technology research and socio-legal studies of urban law the project is touching upon the documents regulating the business and advertising and the residential initiative financing regulation which in turn has become a way for the city dwellers to establish a dialogue with the city administration. The classic text by Aibar and Baker about the Cerda Plan for the Extension of Barcelona has been used as a starting point reflecting upon the analyses of the power redistribution strategies in Almaty. The 2023 empirical part of the study consists of the review of documents and practices of the design code implementation and the application of the public participation budget in Almaty and is complemented by in-depth interviews and open data analysis being the first step of research in the socio-legal aspects of urban environment regulation in the cities of Central Asia. The study demonstrates the efficiency of the regulation of economic aspects of the urban environment and socio-economic regulatory tools operating in the context of a complex and heterogeneous economic structure under the influence of various economic traditions.
