“…This approach builds on the New Regionalism focused on the interconnectedness of metropolitan regions by emphasizing voluntary cooperation, informal networking, and integration (Paasi 2002, Groth andCorijn 2005) rather than top-down mechanisms to promote metropolitan coordination and cooperation among the fragmented stakeholders (Katz 2000, Paasi 2012), whereas in practice we often see mutual interaction of these approaches.…”

Former socialist countries still suffer from the absence of planning at a higher administrative level. To develop a metropolitan governance model, strengthen the partner-ship between the hinterland and core cities, and eliminate obstacles stemming from the local government fragmentation, the paper aims to introduce the steps for the institu-tionalization of metropolitan cooperation in the Czech Republic, being demonstrated by the example of the Brno Metropolitan Area (BMA), a leader in the development of in-termunicipal cooperation. The procedure is based on transferable experience from foreign countries and robust surveys among mayors in BMA (carried out in 2020, 175 municipali-ties, 96% response rate) and tens of experts on metropolitan issues. Selected results show that a mutual willingness to create an institution (metropolitan unit) responsible for har-monic metropolitan development, delegate some municipal competencies to a higher level and to contribute to a metropolitan fund was found. The participation of municipalities in the institution is proposed indirectly through voluntary association of municipalities, which would be intermediate between local and metropolitan levels. However, for imple-mentation at the national level, a valid and effective legislative regulation is needed. URL: https://www.gcass.science.upjs.sk/

“…Florida found that a vibrant musical life is a key factor in attracting creative people to settle in communities [1]. a study by Katz for Pennsylvania, USA, also showed that creative workers want to live in vibrant and diverse communities, and that arts and culture are key elements in attracting and retaining creative workers [2]. It is easy to see that music plays a crucial role in the lives of creative people and innovation-driven development strategies.…”

Music training industry as an emerging effort in the knowledge-based economy has broadly created the market prospects and rapidly expanded its influence and attracts more and more learners' attention. This paper mainly applied the theory of technology acceptance model (TAM) by empirically explore and analysis the key factors affecting students learning effectiveness among music training institutions in China. Survey data were collected from 395 students in music training intuitions. The results showed that the key factors that affect music professional learning can be divided into the cognitive load, time cost, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This study deepens understanding of the learning effect of music professional learners in music training institutions and direct institutions to improve the quality of teaching.

“…Special deals for cities materialize in diverse ways, from the inclusion of specific arrangements in local government financial systems to the targeting of big investment projects by higher levels of government. 1 In other countries, like the U.S., the debate hinges on why central cities are allowed to deteriorate and do not receive enough financial support from higher layers of government (Katz, 2003). At both sides of the Atlantic there is also a growing interest in metropolitan governance institutions, which allow central cities and suburbs to solve conflicts of interest and also imply some sort of fiscal consolidation between the central city and its suburbs.…”

“…All of these studies refer to the U.S. The deep suburbanization process and the deterioration of living standards in U.S. metropolitan areas make these issues especially relevant in that country (see Brueckner, 2000 andKatz, 2000).…”

“…However, some authors believe that specific features make the problem less acute in Europe, particularly in Spain. In fact, some of the drivers of urban sprawl (Brueckner, 2000), such as low gasoline prices, free-market urbanism, soaring city crime rates, and highly decentralized local finance, 2 See, for example, Katz (1999), for a description of recent regionalist tendencies in the U.S. and Thornley, Salet, and Kreukels (2003) for a survey of metropolitan governance experiences in Europe. 3 Indeed, if the higher costs in big cities (e.g., wages or rents) are derived from a higher attractiveness of urban areas (i.e., higher productivity or amenities), targeting more resources to urban areas would cause an excessive concentration of population and economic activity in these areas.…”

Central Cities as Engines of Metropolitan Area Growth*

The paper analyzes the role of central cities as engines of economic growth in their metropolitan area. We wonder if there are increasing returns to central city growth at the metropolitan level arising from the positive externalities associated with the unique features of central cities. To answer this question we analyze the causality between the economic growth of Spanish central cities and the growth of the other jurisdictions belonging to their metropolitan area (i.e., the suburbs). The analysis uses population and economic activity data for a sample of 28 Spanish metropolitan areas during 35 years. We use a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) framework to estimate long-run equilibrium relationships between the growth of central cities and their suburbs. The combination of panel data and a VECM is an innovative approach that is still being developed in econometrics. The results suggest that central city growth has a long-run positive effect on the growth of the suburbs. We also inquire as to whether or not this positive effect depends on the size of the central city. The results suggest that the effect is much higher in the case of the largest cities, but that it is also important in the case of the smaller ones.
