REOS Internationale Vergelijking
Het belang van steden voor de economische toekomst lijkt steeds verder toe te nemen. Zo concludeert ook de OESO dat stedelijke regio’s in toenemende mate een grotere rol spelen in het vergroten van de concurrentiekracht en productiviteit van Nederland. Dit vraagt van overheden - naast de inzet op het vergroten van de innovatiekracht van economische sectoren - ook gerichte aandacht voor het versterken van de krachten en voor de opgaven van onze stedelijke regio’s.
In de afgelopen jaren hebben de stedelijke regio’s in Nederland in regionaal verband sterktes uitgebouwd en opgaven aangepakt. Dit lijkt echter niet voldoende; diverse studies wijzen uit dat Nederland de voordelen van agglomeratiekracht mist door het ontbreken van één of meerdere metropolen. Hierdoor mist Nederland op de lange termijn concurrentiekracht en dus ook economische groei. Volgens de studies ligt de oplossing in het sterker gebruik maken van het Nederlandse netwerk van stedelijke regio’s en het stimuleren van meer samenwerking en economische samenhang. -

Urbanisation from an international perspective

In this reader you will find the results of the labs, including the analysis and data, produced by the civil servants of the City of Amsterdam.

Models of Metropolitan and Regional Governance
Research undertaken by Viviana Rubbo, Urban Researcher and Co-Founder of Urban Reports, for the 2016-2018 Bernd Steinacher Fellowship. The Fellowship was established in 2010 to sustain the values and interests brought to METREX by the late Bernd Steinacher.
This research was a journey across Europe. It was a unique chance to informally meet and talk to the policy-makers, professionals and public actors who are called today to master the complexity of the territorial dynamics at the metropolitan scale.
The understanding of “how the territorial reality can be aligned with the governance structures” is the goal of the many efforts undertaken so far and explored in this research.
Why laboratories of metropolitan governance? Whether there is a top-down legislative framework that needs to be adapted and make it fit to the local and place-specific challenges and issues (Italian cases), or a special funding programme tailor-made for a target-region (Prague), or a voluntary and pragmatic political interest to achieve cooperation and play together (Helsinki region and Lyon Metropolitan Pole), each territory showcases an attempt, a strategy, a way forward, to deal with major territorial questions that call for radical changes.Author: Viviana Rubbo, Metrex Bernd Steinacher Fellowship 2016-2018.

OECD - The Metropolitan Century
The report provides an outline of recent and likely future urbanisation trends and discusses the consequences. The world is in the middle of an urbanisation process that will cause urbanisation rates to rise from low double digit rates to more than 80% by the end of the century. It argues that this is both a great opportunity and a great challenge, as decisions taken today will affect the lifes of people for a long time to come. The report aims at explaining why cities exist, and what can make them prosperous and function well. It also discusses whether cities are good for residents, for the countries they are located in and for the global environment. The report argues that cities exist and grow because they are a source of economic prosperity and offer amenities that benefit their residents. It concludes that urbanisation is a process that needs to be shaped by policy makers to ensure that all benefit from it.

OECD - Research on Megaregion the West-Scandinavian Case
n an increasingly globalised world, cities and regions sometimes join forces with their neighbours to form "megaregions" and tap economies of scale. This report discusses how eight cities and counties in Norway and Sweden - along the coast joining up Oslo, Gothenburg and Malmö - have decided to work closer together as the megaregion of “Western Scandinavia”. With a total population of about 5 million inhabitants, this cross-border territory shows good potential to draw on its growing economic and cultural interlinkages, as well as its long history of institutional collaboration, to build a stronger, more sustainable and more inclusive megaregion. The report encourages local authorities to identify a common vision for their shared future development and to take concrete action towards implementing it. It also calls for national governments to tackle the challenges of cross-border transport planning to facilitate greener mobility and more inclusive labour markets.

Amsterdam is a dynamic and growing metropolitan area that faces significant land-use pressures. Renowned for its tradition of collaborative planning, the city and its metropolitan partners must adapt to new conditions. Ongoing population growth is creating demand for housing and commercial space, and the new National Environment and Planning Act is challenging planners to adopt more flexible, responsive and integrated land-use management practices. This study examines the social, economic and environmental conditions affecting the area’s spatial development as well as the plans, policies and institutions that govern how land is used. The study offers recommendations on how the city and its metropolitan partners can best respond to emerging challenges and meet their ambitious goals for sustainable and inclusive spatial development.
