“…In the last twenty years, the expansion of large Mediterranean cities was partly stimulated by the European Spatial Planning Framework (Giannakourou ) indicating polycentric development as a tool to achieve more cohesive territories (European Commission ). Polycentrism is the principle of organisation of a region around several political, social or financial centres (Herrschel ). Examples of polycentric regions in Europe include, among others, the Ruhr area in Germany, Randstad in the Netherlands, Stoke‐on‐Trent in the United Kingdom, the Po valley in northern Italy and the most urbanised areas of Belgium (Kloosterman & Musterd ).…”

“…The application of a more holistic approach, based on a multivariate analysis of the monocentric organisation of cities and its possible shift over time towards different forms of spatial organisation at the regional scale is the novelty of the present paper. The analysis was based on four research dimensions (population structure and dynamics, settlement characteristics, labour market, productive structure and economic specialisation) considered as relevant in the description of the spatial organisation of cities at the local and regional scale (Kloosterman & Musterd ; Meijers ; Herrschel ).…”

The present study explores the long‐term changes (1971–2001) in the socio‐economic structure of a monocentric Mediterranean urban region (Rome's province, central Italy) undergoing moderately polycentric development. Descriptive and correlation statistics and a multiway factor analysis (MFA) have been used to analyse the spatio‐temporal evolution of 24 socio‐economic indicators made available at the urban district/municipal scale. The socio‐economic disparities observed along the urban‐rural gradient in 1971 decreased only moderately in 2001. The MFA clearly separates urban districts from suburban municipalities in both 1971 and 2001. Results indicate that exurban development has impacted only partly Rome's urban form which remained mainly compact and dense with persisting socio‐economic gaps between urban and suburban areas. The paper discusses the partial failure of Rome's master plan to promote a really polycentric development and a new, more sustainable, urban form.

The aim of this article was to analyse the problems related to the processes of creation of metropolitan areas. The Polish case of Gdańsk-Gdynia metropolitan area constitutes the basis for the discussion as its polycentric structure intensifies the problems that stem from integration and the restructuring of administrative power. The difficulties in the creation of new metropolitan entities are well illustrated by the lack of agreement on the name of a metropolitan area. Local and regional leaders' different visions on metropolitan government deeply complicate political integration. The complexity of relations between metropolitan and the rural areas creates additional challenges for achieving a cohesive regional policy.

“…A városi terek intézményesí-tésében tapasztalható "késlekedés" oka egyrészt az, hogy e terek rendkívül dinamikusan változnak, s a változások hajtóerıinek köre és hatása csak részben tisztázott, illetve prognosztizálható, másrészt viszont az, hogy e dinamikus térkategóriát rendkívül nehéz beilleszteni a statikus rendszerő közigazgatásba, ráadásul ez nem is tehetı meg a közigazgatási tér egészét lefedıen. Ez utóbbi veszélyre hívja fel a figyelmet Herrschel, féltve a rurális, kevésbé felfőzött térségeket a kizárólag városi logikával történı kormányzástól (Herrschel 2009). A rescaling típusú strukturális reform beavatkozás tekintetében tehát érthetı az óvatosság.…”
