City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping
and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are
seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing
congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments
attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by
institutional reform and a shift of functions. This book analyses
the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in
France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of
austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state
modernisation. The authors provide a systematic cross-country
perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the
national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a
solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions
functions, institutions and governance, ideas and space. They
describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the
results, and consequently, they question the widespread
metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a
better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance
in Europe. The primary readership will be researchers and master
students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political
science and governance studies, especially those interested in
metropolitan regions and / or decentralisation. Due to the
uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to
scholars working on the comparative European dimension of
territorial governance and planning. The Open Access version of
