Abstract

This paper provides an overview of country specific approaches to metropolitan area governance. It provides brief descriptions of the typical structures of metropolitan governance, with a particular focus on the involved organisations. It points out metropolitan areas that have unusual governance arrangements, but generally does not emphasise individual cases. The paper aims to give a descriptive overview of governance structures while abstaining from evaluating their performance. Ce rapport offre un panorama des approches spécifiques que les pays adoptent face à la gouvernance métropolitaine. Il fournit une brève description des structures typiques de gouvernance métropolitaine, avec un accent particulier sur les organisations impliquées. Le papier souligne les régions métropolitaines dotées de dispositifs inhabituels de gouvernance, mais ne s’étend pas sur les cas individuels. L’objectif du papier consiste à fournir un aperçu descriptif des structures de gouvernance sans évaluer leurs performances.
