  3. The METROBORDER project • ‚Cross-Border Polycentric Metropolitan Regions‘ (CBPMR): • Where are they? • What is their position? • How can their governance be improved? • ...

  4. 1. New regions? FUAs and MUAs within the two case study regions

  5. 1. New regions? The spatial setting: The Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) of the cross-border polycentric metropolitan regions (CBPMRs)

  6. 1. New regions? right: core spaces for increased cross-border cooperation in the case study region – results from a Delphi study, differentiated for the national backgrounds of the responding experts left: cross-border institutions and their perimeter within the Upper Rhine region

  7. 2. Metropolitan regions? CBPMR-cities in the GaWC-monitor (marked in red) each square indicates a metropolis, and its position roughly represents the position on the world map (source: GaWC 2008; own graphic). VI = Vienna: alpha city (in 4th of ten world city categories) GN = Geneva: beta city (6/10) CP = Copenhagen: beta city (6/10) LX = Luxembourg: beta city (6/10) BV = Bratislava: gamma-plus city (8/10) (Basel and Strasbourg are mentioned as showing “sufficiency” but are not included in this map)

  8. 2. Metropolitan regions? • Economic control in CBPMRs – applying the FOCI approach: • diversity of cases • polycentric structure • asymmetric metropolitan quality in all cases

  9. 2. Metropolitan regions? Metropolitan accessibility? Number of flights per day and airport for the two case study regions and their surrounding areas

  10. 3. cross-border regions ? Fig. 3 (p. 38): Cross-border commuters in metropolitan areas, 2000 and 2006 (sources and spatial units: see appendix, chapter 9)

  11. 3. cross-border regions ? • Commuting flows in the Upper Rhine • Commuting... • ... is an overall domestic phenomenon • ... can override border effects, but does not always do.

  13. 4. Political conclusions? What role for the EU? Results from the Delphi study (n GR= 156, n UR =89)

  14. 4. Political conclusions? • Institutional Mapping of CBPMRs • x-axis: institutional level • y-axis: geographical scope (CEPS/ Instead 2010)

  15. 4. Political conclusions? The five most important barriers for an enhanced cross-border cooperation in both case study regions (Delphi study)

  16. 4. Political conclusions? The most relevant policies for increased cross-border cooperation (Delphi Study)
