Developing Regional Regimes: A Comparison of Two Metropolitan Areas

Abstract

:The author relates tenets of urban regime theory to the major elements of new regionalism. He develops a framework of government and private sector structures and factors that facilitate the development of regional governing regimes. He categorizes these structures and elements as high, medium, or low according to the extent to which they facilitate or hinder the development of regional regimes. This framework is used in an analysis of new regionalism in the Pittsburgh and Chicago regions. The author concludes that the Pittsburgh region’s private sector regime development capacity is in the high category while its government capacity is in the medium category. The Chicago region’s private sector regime development capacity is placed in the medium category while its government sector capacity is judged to be in the low category.
