Abstract

Multi-level territorial governance has entered European planning discourse, but is the term “territorial” actually redundant? After all, multi-level governance is already thought to refer to the interaction between nested territorial administrations.

And does the multi-level governance literature ignore the underlying metageography? Whether territories are accordingly fixed jurisdictions or malleable social constructs has implications for planning and beyond.
