This book investigates the ways in which city regions view
themselves as single entities, how they are governed, what is meant
by governance, why the question of city-regional governance
matters, and the extent to which the balance between internal and
external factors is important for finding governance solutions.
Examples from North America and Europe are compared and contrasted
to gain a better understanding of what matters on the ground to
people and policy makers when seeking answers to the challenges of
a globalised, rapidly changing world.
In order to analyse the conditions involved in making local
decisions, the author looks at the impact of established
policy-making practices, socio-economic patterns among the
population, existing views of the local and the regional and their
respective roles among the electorate and policy makers, and the
scope for building city-regional governance under given statutory
and fiscal provisions. The complex interaction of these factors is
shown to produce place-specific forms and modi operandi for
governing city regions as local-regional constructs.
This book will be of interest to urban and regional policy
makers and scholars working in the fields of economic geography and
political geography.
