ConclusionsReviews'This integrated volume addresses the increasingly important issue of city region governance through a structured and methodical framework, drawing on genuinely comparative practice and perspective from North America and Europe. It is a very welcome addition to the literature.' Mike Danson, Heriot-Watt University, UK 'Few things are as important today as creating new ways to address challenges to metropolitan sustainability and survival. This book lends a strong hand to the work of practitioners and scholars concerned with how metropolitan regions make progress towards creating sustainable, livable, and governable city regions.' Ethan Seltzer, Portland State University, USA 'If regions were the spatial focus during the 1990s, the new millennium has seen city-regions emerge as the critical site for harnessing economic competitiveness. Herrschel's latest book presents a unique take on the governance of these city-regions, navigating as it does the different cultures of city-regionalism which has seen the decentralisation of socioeconomic decision-making and policy implementation to city-regional level institutions, frameworks and supports take on different forms throughout Europe and North America. In particular, Herrschel should be commended for tackling head on the challenging issue of the role that is played by the (nation-)state in formulating the conditions under which city-regions can form, operate, and govern.'
