About this book
Through an interpretive comparison of five contexts, the book provides an overview of the European orientation tracing two interdependent developments. First, the book examines references to ‘Europe’ in national and subnational policies. In French and German policies, metropolitan regions are increasingly framed as being central not only for inter-municipal coordination, but also as nodes within the European space. Moreover, Europeanised metropolitan regions such as Lyon and Stuttgart develop European strategies. The second development shows how metropolitan regions appear as actors and issues in the European policy arena, contributing to a tentative and implicit metropolitan dimension.
This multi-scalar analysis is of interest for scholars and practitioners specialised in metropolitan regions, European urban and regional policies, geography and related areas.
Reviews
“A comprehensive and extremely detailed analysis of the role of metropolitan regions in a European perspective. The book is well-written and structured and provides a number of invaluable insights into the complex role of metropolitan regions … . an important cornerstone in the field of European metropolitanstudies, since it offers conceptually rich and empirically well-informed account of where we are (or how far we have come) regarding the European dimension of metropolitan policies in the year 2020.” (Peter Schmitt, Raumforschung und Raumordnung, Vol. 79 (2), 2021)
