Inhaltsangabe

Economic regions competing in a global marketplace describes the future
organizing principle of urban regions. This emerging principle contrasts
sharply with the historical notion of regions as the informal area in which
geo-political bounded municipalities operating in an intergovernmental
framework. As such, we are becoming a planet of regions and some regions
are moving faster to incorporate new ways of governing than others.
Regional Governance of Metropolitan America compares and contrasts
governance strategies being adopted or are being considered in regions
throughout North America. These strategies find their final tests in
dealing with issues such as the deep socio-economic gulf between poor
cities and affluent suburbs, physical sprawl from urban growth and its
environmental and social consequences, and America's hesitation in creating
effective systems of coordinated governance for city-states. Utilizing an
historical review of the development of the current legal framework within
which municipalities have been organized, the book then examines the
competing theoretical frameworks, assessing what makes for a "successful"
governance strategy in a region. 081339807x the Regional Governing of
