Preferred term

metropolitan governance  

Definition

  • Metropolitan governance refers to a two-fold process of consolidating a new political space at the metropolitan scale, which involves intrametro-politan conflicts as well as political transformation through new governing instruments and interest-mediation mechanisms, and consolidating the metropolis as a collective actor in intergovernmental relations, global markets, and international politics. In brief, it entails profound transformations of the role of the city in the political process. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; Metropolitan Governance]
