How should the metropolis be governed? What is the appropriate
scale to consider and organize local governance and communities?
Bringing together an interdisciplinary and international body of
scholarly work, City-Regions in Prospect? explores the city-region
as both an evolving concept and as a growing area of planning
practice. Contributors raise critical questions about the ways in
which governance reform is being reshaped and whether current
trends towards rescaling and rebounding cities actually address
local challenges of urbanization and globalization. These essays
highlight the tensions and uncertainties between the city-region as
a concept and the experiences of local communities when municipal
policies are applied. Proposing a challenge to scholars and
municipal leaders to account for flexibility, adaptability to local
contexts, social robustness, and community engagement, City-Regions
in Prospect? Captures the growing relevance and importance of
cities in a rapidly urbanizing world.
