文章首先简要回顾了行动者网络理论为城市研究提供的有效和可塑的工具箱，为新的研究分析方式提供了广泛视角。这些视角为彻底关系地和对称地地理解城市提供了丰富的理论基础。它们以不同方式去中心化①城市理念和研究。打开城市研究的行动者网络工具箱不仅提出了研究问题的新路径，同时也为社会科学和人文学科的相互影响提供了新的跨学科空间。文章进一步指出，行动者网络理论动摇了将城市视为有界稳定实体的单一假设，其本体论立场上整体改变了城市研究的基础。基于此，文章批判了芝加哥学派、韦伯、齐美尔三种主要城市研究传统，并提出另一种城市本体论，即城市不是被社会建构的，而是由身体、物质、技术、物品、自然和人类组成的网络演成的。因此，城市作为多元物体，来自于城市组装的复数形式涌现。

This paper reviews briefly a useful and plastic toolbox for urban studies provided by ANT with a broad pool of perspectives for questioning cities in new ways. What all these perspectives offer is a rich theoretical ground to develop radically relational and symmetrical understandings of the city, which decentres urban theory and research in different ways. Opening the actor-network toolbox for urban studies entails not only a new way of posing research questions, but provides also a new interdisciplinary space for the interplay of the social sciences and the humanities disciplines. The paper further points out that ANT destabilizes the monolithic assumption that the reality of the city has been understood in highly stable and bounded ways. Based on this, the paper criticizes the three traditions of urban studies of the Chicago School, Weber, and Simmel and indicates the main contribution that ANT approach lies in the delineation of an alternative ontology for the city, i.e., that the city is not socially constructed, but enacted into being in networks of bodies, materialities, technologies, objects, nature and humans. Thus, the city as multiple objects emerges from urban assemblages in the plural forms.
