WHO CLEANS THE PARK?: PUBLIC WORK AND URBAN GOVERNANCE IN NEW YORK CITY
Book ID/图书代码： 13560017C00309
English Summary/英文概要： America’s public parks are in a golden age. Hundreds of millions of dollars both public and private fund urban jewels like Manhattan’s Central Park. Keeping the polish on landmark parks and in neighborhood playgrounds alike means that the trash must be picked up, benches painted, equipment tested, and leaves raked. Bringing this often-invisible work into view, however, raises profound questions for citizens of cities. In Who Cleans the Park? John Krinsky and Maud Simonet explain that the work of maintaining parks has intersected with broader trends in welfare reform, civic engagement, criminal justice, and the rise of public-private partnerships. Welfare-to-work trainees, volunteers, unionized city workers (sometimes working outside their official job descriptions), staff of nonprofit park "conservancies," and people sentenced to community service are just a few of the groups who routinely maintain parks. With public services no longer being provided primarily by public workers, Krinsky and Simonet argue, the nature of public work must be reevaluated. Based on four years of fieldwork in New York City, Who Cleans the Park? looks at the transformation of public parks from the ground up. Beginning with studying changes in the workplace, progressing through the public-private partnerships that help maintain the parks, and culminating in an investigation of a park’s contribution to urban real-estate values, the book unearths a new urban order based on nonprofit partnerships and a rhetoric of responsible citizenship, which at the same time promotes unpaid work, reinforces workers’ domination at the workplace, and increases the value of park-side property. Who Cleans the Park? asks difficult questions about who benefits from public work, ultimately forcing us to think anew about the way we govern ourselves, with implications well beyond the five boroughs.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美国的公园正处于黄金时代。数亿美元的公共和私人基金都市珠宝像曼哈顿中央公园。保持地标性公园和邻里游乐场上的波兰语意味着必须拾起垃圾，涂刷长凳，测试设备和树叶。然而，将这种经常看不见的工作看成是城市居民的深刻问题。谁在清理公园？约翰•克林斯基和莫德•西莫内特解释说，维护公园的工作与福利改革，公民参与，刑事司法以及公私合作伙伴关系崛起等更广泛的趋势相互关联。福利对工作的学员，志愿者，城市工会成员（有时在他们的官方职位描述之外工作），非营利公园的工作人员“保守”以及被要求社区服务的人员只是常规维护公园的几个组织。 克林斯基和西蒙内特认为，公共服务不再主要由公共工作人员提供，公共工作的性质必须重新评估。基于纽约市四年的实地考察，谁清理公园？着眼于公园的转型。从研究工作场所的变化，通过帮助维护公园的公私合作伙伴关系开始，并最终调查公园对城市房地产价值的贡献开始，该书发掘了基于非营利伙伴关系的新城市订单和负责任的公民权的言辞同时促进了无报酬的工作，加强了工人在工作场所的统治地位，并增加了公园方财产的价值。谁清理公园？问谁从公共工作中受益的困难问题，最终迫使我们重新考虑我们自己管理自己的方式，其影响远超过五个行政区。（WYL）
