Empowering Metropolitan Regions Through New Forms of Cooperation

By: Dr Alexander Otgaar,Dr Jan van der Meer,Ms Carolien Speller,Professor Leo van den Berg

This insightful book analyzes the development of cross-border and cross-sector partnerships in a number of European cities and regions. Including, amongst others, Copenhagen, Budapest, Helsinki, Munich and Catalonia, these case studies shed light on the factors determining the success or failure of the coalition-forming process. Over the course of the nine case studies, the following questions are addressed: – What forms of metropolitan and/or regional partnerships can be found? – What are the motives for establishing such partnerships? – What factors contribute to or obstruct cooperation on the metropolitan level? – How is performance of partnership models to be measured? – How are the successes and failures of these attempts to be explained? The comparative analysis of these attempts to establish cooperation between municipalities demonstrates the importance of a regional approach to governance in dealing with challenges that cross the borders of cities.

Industrial Tourism

Opportunities for City and Enterprise

By: Rachel Xiang Feng,Dr Alexander Otgaar,Mr Christian Berger,Professor Leo van den Berg

Industrial tourism presents opportunities, both in terms of income and as a tool of management, for individual firms who open their doors - and consequently their local regions - to the public. But how can these opportunities be organised in a way that enables both the city and the enterprise to take advantage? This book analyzes the conditions for successful industrial tourism development using case studies of Wolfsburg, Cologne, Pays de la Loire, Turin, Shanghai and Rotterdam, and makes astute recommendations for cities and companies with ambitions in this field.

Towards Healthy Cities

Comparing Conditions for Change

By: Dr Alexander Otgaar,Mr Jeroen Klijs,Professor Leo van den Berg

This book explores the conditions needed to make public and private investments in healthy cities most effective. The authors argue that three conditions are essential for such investments: citizen empowerment, corporate responsibility and a coordinated improvement of urban health conditions. Using an integrated approach to health in line with the Healthy Cities philosophy of the World Health Organization, case studies in Helsinki, Liverpool, London, Udine and Vancouver are not only used to demonstrate the relevance of these conditions, but also to show how actors in these cities are trying to meet these conditions.
