Description
Integrating political, social, and technical dimensions of territorial governance, this timely Handbook provides insights into the topic from scholars across urban and regional planning, policy, geography and economics. It offers a comprehensive exploration of territorial governance systems across different theoretical perspectives, themes and geographies, from Europe to Asia, Africa, and beyond. The Handbook addresses the ambiguities of the concept from different points of view and identifies the challenges of transferring territorial governance, exploring the topical concept of territorial meta-governance. Leading experts discuss territorial governance in relation to concrete spatial policy issues, including housing and transportation policies, as well as broader aspects of human existence, such as climate change and planetary commons. Chapters examine the roles of institutions, jurisdictions, infrastructures and urban properties in territorial governance, shedding light on multi-level and multi-actor governance. The Handbook of Territorial Governance is an essential guide for students and academics in planning, human geography, governance and urban studies. Its valuable insights will be beneficial to practitioners in urban and regional planning and governance, as well as policymakers, government officials, and environmental scientists.
