This monograph analyses the role of border cities in promoting
territorial development processes in border regions across the
world. It not only embraces the scientific fields of regional and
urban studies but also addresses territorial (urban, local,
regional) development and planning theories, as well as the effects
of development policies applied to border regions in both Europe
and North America. In essence, the book offers a full toolkit of
border regions' territorial development knowledge and, in
particular, advances a range of policy development proposals. It
provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary thinking
about how border cities can play a decisive role in boosting
territorial development processes in border regions. The book is
divided into three parts. Part I presents a theoretical framework
on the role of border cities in promoting territorial development
and planning in border regions. Part II debates current mainstream
policies focusing on supporting border regions and specifically
border cities in the EU, the UK, and North America. Finally, Part
III presents a wealth of updated knowledge, based on the analysis
of several concrete case studies: border cities from both Europe
(north, south, east and west) and North America (Canada, the United
States, and Mexico). The chapters are written by some of the most
renowned authors on the subject, including scholars from several
European and North American countries, as well as the secretary
generals of three European border regions associations (AEBR, MOT,
and CESCI). The book will thoroughly prepare students and provide
knowledge to academics and policymakers in the fields of urban and
regional planning and development studies, human geography,
economic development, EU policies, border regions, and policy
impacts.
