The aim of this book is to investigate contemporary processes of
metropolitan change and approaches to planning and governing
metropolitan regions. To do so, it focuses on four central tenets
of metropolitan change in terms of planning and governance:
institutional approaches, policy mobilities, spatial imaginaries,
and planning styles. The book's main contribution lies in providing
readers with a new conceptual and analytical framework for
researching contemporary dynamics in metropolitan regions. It will
chiefly benefit researchers and students in planning, urban
studies, policy and governance studies, especially those interested
in metropolitan regions. The relentless pace of urban change in
globalization poses fundamental questions about how to best plan
and govern 21st-century metropolitan regions. The problem for
metropolitan regions-especially for those with policy and
decision-making responsibilities-is a growing recognition that
these spaces are typically reliant on inadequate urban-economic
infrastructure and fragmented planning and governance arrangements.
Moreover, as the demand for more 'appropriate'-i.e., more flexible,
networked and smart-forms of planning and governance increases, new
expressions of territorial cooperation and conflict are emerging
around issues and agendas of (de-)growth, infrastructure expansion,
and the collective provision of services.
