Urban restructuring and governance : North-South differences in Europe and the EU URBAN initiative

Auteur :
CHORIANOPOULOS, I.

Description :
The paper discusses the relationship between the divergent urbanisation/industrialisation patterns in northern and southern Europe, which results in different forms of urban governance. It considers the distinct urban restructuring and governance mode in Spain, Greece and Portugal as a causal factor behind the lagging competitiveness of cities in southern Europe. This pattern of heterogeneity is not addressed in the EU urban policies aimed at promoting competitiveness (examples of six cities' governance responses to the EU URBAN initiative).
