Title: Metropolitan governance
Description: "Metropolitan Governance offers a cross-national analysis of contemporary issues and challenges for the governing of urban regions throughout Europe and North America. The authors develop an analytical framework built on the premise that issues of metropolitan governance are best understood by focusing not only on the characteristics of the local government systems and of state-society relations, but also on the dynamics of place." "An original contribution to the debates on the nature of metropolitan governance, this book puts forward the argument that 'place matters'. It will be of interest to all students and researchers of public administration, governance and urban research."--Jacket.
