| Sumario: | "Throughout the world, more and more of policy making and the politics that shape it take place in the urban regions where most people live. This book, drawing on eleven case studies of similar but disparate urban regions in France, Germany and the United States from the 1960s into the 1990s, documents the growth of urban governance and develops a pioneering analysis of its causes and consequences. This analysis traces the origins of urban governance to the expansion as well as the devolution of policy making, to mobilization around local business and institutional interests in high-tech and service activities and to the growth and incorporation of local social movements. Although nation-states shape the possibilities for this urban governance, they operate increasingly as infrastructures for local initiatives rather than through dictates from above. Where urban governance has succeeded best in combining environmental quality and social inclusion with local prosperity, local officials have built not only on supportive infrastructures from higher levels but on regimes in the local economy and civil society and on favorable positions in the global economy."--Jacket. |
