There is little question today that processes of globalization
affect national and local economies, governance processes, and
conditions for economic competitiveness in the major urban regions
of the world. In most liberal-democratic countries, these processes
are occurring according to a rationale which attempts to combine
strategies of state-supported development with increasing
local-regional governmental decentralization and autonomy. Against
this background, the issue of metropolitan development is being
redefined worldwide, along with its institutional frameworks, modes
of governance, policy instruments, and spatial planning strategies.
The overarching assumption of this volume is that 'metropolitan
space', far from being consolidated as a policy object, is
currently being redefined and in some instances 'constructed' and
contested as a scale, through a variety of policy practices related
to spatial-economic development objectives. Through case studies
drawn from across four continents, the authors reveal a range of
interesting cross-national commonalities concerning the power that
state actors, situated at various spatial scales, exert as agents
in these processes. This volume interrogates key research issues
raised by these developments, and is intended as a contribution to
the establishment of a globally comparative analysis of the
construction of metropolitan spaces and scales under conditions of
globalization and neoliberalization.
