Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the place of the Cohesion Policy (CP) within a multiscalar urban policy constellation that shapes metropolisation dynamics. While there is broad agreement the CP seeks to foster metropolisation at regional scale and above, how this ties into its action at city scale and below in specific urban contexts is not always well understood. Through a mixed-methods case study of the Romanian city of Iași informed by a brennerian perspective, three main questions are tackled: in a given city, does the CP exert a coherent influence upon metropolisation dynamics? How does it weave-into place-specific metropolisation dynamics? How does it relate to other elements of the relevant governance constellation? This paper finds that, while the CP does not have a very coherent action at city scale, it enables local actors’ own agendas. Those agendas are oriented towards metropolisation and locational policies broadly compatible with the CP’s priorities, because local actors are embedded in and channelled by a multi-scalar policy context of which the CP is a part.
