  3. State Regionalization (metropolitan regions, urban agglomerations and micro-regions), with emphasis on the metropolitan regions I –Regionalization and Institutionalization of Metropolitan Regions Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  4. Geographic evidence of the metropolitan phenomenon Conurbation – physical fusion between cities Increased demographic density Metropolis – increased hierarchy in the urban network Interdependent urban infrastructure Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  5. Geographic phenomenon x Political-juridical organization of the States Metropolitan territory does not match with the political-territorial division Urban sprawl contiguous to and overlapping into multiple municipalities Interdependence Process: underlying factors within the metropolitan regions Public Offices of Common Interest – the metropolitan interest Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  6. Wikipedia Image : São Paulo Landsat (satellite image). THE METROPOLITAN ISSUE: GEOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIALPHENOMENON THAT IMPACTS THE JURIDICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE TERRITORY Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  7. Issues: how to institutionalize metropolitan regions? As a new sphere of governance? Should it possess its own juridical character and political capacity? Should it be an administrative jurisdiction with or without juridical character? Should it be a region of planning? Should it be a region of special services? Should it depend upon an institutional arrangement for regulation? Who should create the metropolitan regions? Should the metropolitan governor be elected or nominated? Should it be a politician or an administrator? How to integrate local governments to metropolitan administration? Can it result in the amalgamation of municipalities? How can the population participate? What must be the strength of the votes of the members of the Metropolitan Councils and other jurisdictions? Government – Municipalities – Society – Productive Sector? Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  8. The ability of the Metropolitan Issue to cause a disturbance... “Municipality - açu (large)” “Estado - mirim (small)” Concentration of GNP, fiscal collection and voters Paradox – Concentration of ‘sore spots’ Several political actors tend to lose power with the reorganization Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  9. What is already acceptable (Edésio Fernandes) The ‘local’ in urbanization is the ‘metropolitan’ The metropolitan scale of settlement, sanitation, transport (TransMilenio in Bogota, Johannesburg) Metropolitan scale of formal and informal real-estate markets Necessity for economic efficiency and administrative rationality (effectiveness of public policies; transaction costs; urban governance) Necessity for sustainable development Necessity for the territorialization in the metropolitan scale of plans – strategic, regulatory, inductive/positive – and of public policies Necessity to create specific institutions and processes” Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  10. Elements still being debated(Edésio Fernandes) The nature of the metropolitan phenomenon Identification of the metropolitan interest The determination of the political quality of the decision-making process Financing metropolitan development – Who pays the bills, and how? Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  11. II – METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE Models The international experience reveals several models of governance of metropolitan regions, which, basically, divide into two types: INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATIVE Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  12. METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE MODELS Vertical or Compulsory (Institutional) Model Metropolitan Regions created or coordinated by regional or national body, within the terms of the Constitution vertical organization of the metropolitan region, through legislation edited by a competent body, independent from the municipalities’ consent Characteristic: Systemic and territorial governance Horizontal (Cooperative) Model Metropolitan Regions created or services generated by the agreement between local governments horizontal organization of the metropolitan area, based on the free association between the local governments. Characteristic: Governance through projects and through consensuses Maria Coeli Simões Pires

  13. International Experiences Canada: amalgamation of municipalities United States: multiple models; from voluntary agreements to regional authorities England: Greater London created in 1960; extinct in the Thatcher Gov.; re-created in 2000. Power of the economic argument: Global competition between metropolises induce processes of metropolitan integration (reduction of transaction costs) Maria Coeli Simões Pires
