Produktbeschreibung
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.

Rezensionen
"The book is easy to understand and clearly structured. The development of an analytical framework for planning and governance in metropolitan regions is successfully implemented." (Anna Growe, Raumforschung und Raumordnung, Vol. 78 (5), October, 2020)

"This book provides overviews on planning and governance in metropolitan regions from various perspectives, making it a depository of presented cases that reflect a panoply of approaches. The book is an important reference for students and researchers in planning, planners and policy makers interested in engaging with the topic to have the wider picture."
