The region is back in town. Galloping urbanization has pushed
beyond historical notions of metropolitanism. City-regions have
experienced, in Edward Soja's terms, "an epochal shift in the
nature of the city and the urbanization process, marking the
beginning of the end of the modern metropolis as we knew it."
Governing Cities Through Regions broadens and deepens our
understanding of metropolitan governance through an innovative
comparative project that engages with Anglo-American, French, and
German literatures on the subject of regional governance. It
expands the comparative angle from issues of economic competiveness
and social cohesion to topical and relevant fields such as housing
and transportation, and it expands comparative work on municipal
governance to the regional scale. With contributions from
established and emerging international scholars of urban and
regional governance, the volume covers conceptual topics and case
studies that contrast the experience of a range of Canadian
metropolitan regions with a strong selection of European regions.
It starts from assumptions of limited conversion among regions
across the Atlantic but is keenly aware of the remarkable
differences in urban regions' path dependencies in which the larger
processes of globalization and neo-liberalization are situated and
materialized.
