This study – based on a novel data set – gives an overview of governance arrangements in OECD metropolitan areas. It shows that organisations dedicated to metropolitan area governance are common, but often have little powers. Nevertheless, the existence of such organisations is related with better performance on a range of important outcome variables, such as public transport systems, environmental issues, and urban sprawl.PPN: PPN: 79041953XPackage identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-13-SOC | ZDB-13-SOC-ebookDieser Titel hat keine Exemplare
