Routledge Governance and Planning of Mega-City Regions Book

Explore the complex dynamics of modern urban development with Governance and Planning of Mega-City Regions. As neoliberalism's market revolution reshapes contemporary mega-city regions, the negative effects of market-oriented politics on territorial growth become increasingly apparent. This Routledge Studies in Human Geography publication addresses a significant gap in current research. While many studies focus on how policy makers and planners attempt to combat political fragmentation through new governance methods, this book provides a rare international comparative perspective. It offers a detailed examination of how different regions approach these challenges, looking at new practices in governance and planning across various global contexts. This text is an essential resource for understanding the shifting landscape of urban land use and the strategic responses to political and market-driven changes in large-scale metropolitan areas.
