The region is back in town. Galloping urbanization has pushed beyond historical notions of metropolitanism. City-regions have experienced, in Edward Soja’s terms, “an epochal shift in the nature of the city and the urbanization process, marking the beginning of the end of the modern metropolis as we knew it.”

Governing Cities Through Regions broadens and deepens our understanding of metropolitan governance through an innovative comparative project that engages with Anglo-American, French, and German literatures on the subject of regional governance. It expands the comparative angle from issues of economic competiveness and social cohesion to topical and relevant fields such as housing and transportation, and it expands comparative work on municipal governance to the regional scale.

With contributions from established and emerging international scholars of urban and regional governance, the volume covers conceptual topics and case studies that contrast the experience of a range of Canadian metropolitan regions with a strong selection of European regions. It starts from assumptions of limited conversion among regions across the Atlantic but is keenly aware of the remarkable differences in urban regions’ path dependencies in which the larger processes of globalization and neo-liberalization are situated and materialized.

this project startedwhen the ﬁnancial crisis changed the world we live in. Urban regions have been the terrains, origins, and recipients of the fallout from this crisis all at once. The authors assembled in this volume have observed, researched, and analyzed “their” urban regions during the past decade as a collective enterprise. Initial meetings in Montreal, Toronto, and Paris set the stage for what turned out to be a longitudinal study of the governance of cities through regionalization in times of crisis. Those meetings and the investigations in various locales were assisted by many across a network of researchers from Vancouver to Katowice, from Manchester to Barcelona. We thank our European collaborators, Susanne Heeg at Goethe University in Frankfurt and Patrick Le Galès at Sciences Po, who hosted a memorable meeting of our group in Paris at the outset of our work. Some of the researchers for the project and authors in this book began as graduate students and have since moved on. We thank them for their enormous contribution to the success of this enterprise and for their long-lasting interest in the matters of regional governance that underlie this publication: Teresa Abbruzzese, Jean-Paul Addie, Ahmed Allahwala, Antoine Noubouwo, and Christoph Siegl. Others accompanied the project along the way. Among them were Isabelle Bordeleau and Julie Hagan in Montreal and Robert Fiedler, Vera Hoffmann, Evan MacDonough, Sarah Martin, Christine Mettler, and Helen Thang in Toronto. We also owe a big thanks to those who helped edit the manuscript as it evolved: Anna Coté, Jenny Lugar, Claire Major, and Daniel Taylor. The project was funded by a standard research grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. We are grateful for their support.
