Governance of European Metropolitan Regions The talk will reflect on a couple of phenomena: The debate about ‘metropolitan regions’ and some interpretations regarding those. The debate about ‘governance’, which looks at a wide range of urban and territorial policies or strategies. And last, the European territorial context, which needs to be understood as an increasingly important framework for national spatial development.
