Cooperation in metropolitan regions – Barcelona, 1 February 2007 01-02-2007 Introduction Euricur, the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Pompeu Fabra University
organise a one-day seminar to present the findings of an international
comparative research on new forms of cooperation in metropolitan regions. At the
conference, the results of “Empowering Metropolitan Regions Through New Forms of
Cooperation” will be discussed. The European Institute for Comparative Urban
Research (EURICUR), together with eight metropolitan regions, have undertaken
this research project.
Description
Most of the challenges that European metropolitan regions face nowadays
(economic competitiveness, need for a regional approach, need for cross-sector
partnerships) have important consequences for their governance. European cities
and their regions are looking for adequate organisational models that are able
to cope with these challenges.
“Empowering Metropolitan Regions Through New Forms of Cooperation” aims to
provide answers to these questions. In the project, various forms of
metropolitan governance have been studied to determine the factors for failure
or success.
The seminar is intended for representatives of local, regional and national
administrations interested in the search for new cross-border and cross-sector
cooperation formulas, as well as for urban managers, experts and researchers in
this topic.
