Abstract

Strategies of territorial rescaling are investigated in face of the emergent metropolitan configuration of Randstad Holland. Recent governance practices are investigated at three levels of scale: the urban agglomeration around the major cities, the urban conurbations (the northern and southern parts of the Randstad), and the metropolitan level of the Randstad as a whole. The frame of analysis interconnects economic and social interaction, spatial trends and policies, and institutional conditions. The crucial question is how institutional strategies can respond to the changeable spatial context of economic and social interaction. New ways need to be found to create a “mutual fit” between territorially based governmental institutions and trans-scalar strategies of co-production.
