“…It includes a less dense and vibrant landscape of knowledge-institutions and businesses and related platforms than the two other towns and is possibly the least functionally integrated town with Oslo (cf. Gunnes, 2018). It has been ruled interchangeably by coalitions lead by the Labour Party and the Conservatives, with limited presence of 'green parties'.…”

“…Hence, to achieve ambitious goals the municipal leadership needs to navigate and bargain between pressures from private developers with an interest to e.g. build higher, denser and outside the 'green' urban sprawl limits to enhance own benefits -and demands by regional and national planning authorities -and citizens -to follow regional and national guidelines (Nenseth and Røe, forthcoming; Gunnes, 2018;Senhauser 2019;Pirotee 2019). They also need to push for clean construction and enhancement of zero emission vehicles and buildings among developers.…”

“…These youth councils are invariably utilized in each of the towns, mostly so in Sandvika/Baerum. Challenges remain, however, in collaborative engagement of citizens and their involvement and thus feeling of ownership to what many of them perceive as significant and not always benign transformation processes with a variety of impacts (Gunnes 2018;Seehusen 2019;Pirotee 2019). As suggested by a key planner in Skedsmo: 'Density and heights undermine living and city qualities in certain locations' (Senior planner E).…”

The Co-creation Paradox: Small Towns and the Promise and Limits of Collaborative Governance for Low-Carbon, Sustainable Futures

Co-creation is considered a ‘near perfect strategy’ for resolving complex and unruly public problems, such as climate change. Based on data collected among small Scandinavian towns, this article investigates the role of co-creation in the urban governance of climate- and sustainability responses by looking at their vertical and horizontal integration in the wider polycentric governance framework. The article has a two-fold aim. First, it develops an analytical framework for investigating how small towns and municipalities navigate in a range of governance contexts based on two strains of theories on collaborative governance and urban climate governance. Second, it applies this framework to a comparative study of small towns to analyse how co-creation plays a strategic role across types and scales of governance in relation to an evolving climate agenda. The article finds that new forms of public leadership in each of the three municipalities and towns is a main factor in the ‘remaking’ of collaborative planning arenas, triple helix partnerships, business alliances, city networks and collaborative pilot projects, much in a similar manner as observed in global cities. Co-creation is extensively employed as a proactive policy- and leadership instrument. However, the nature of response is uneven across the cases compared. A co-creation paradox is suggested: limited municipal politico-administrative leadership and capacity correspond to a low level of ability to engage in co-creation of solutions. This implies that those organisations with the most need for co-creation may have the least capacity to do so.

“…Dette i kontrast til uttalelser om at 'i Lillestrøm bygger vi relativt tradisjonelt' (Utbygger B). Lillestrøm og Nordre Follo/Ski ble med i FutureBuilt plattformen først fra 2020, etter sammenslåing med nabokommuner og har få lav-karbon pilotprosjekt -I relasjon til ekstern innbyggerinvolvering er potensialet ikke fullt utnyttet av noen av kommunene og fokuset er i hovedsak på involvering av det organiserte sivilsamfunn i ulike planarenaer og plattformer og tradisjonelle høringer av planforslag (Gunnes, 2018;Senhauser 2019;Pirotee 2019). Dette med delvis unntak av Baerum, der kommunens deltakelse i et EU-nettverk bidro til en vesentlig styrking og systematisering av innbyggerinvolvering knyttet til Klimaklok-satsingen (fra 2018) -Angående polysentriske nettverk, deltar alle kommunene aktivt i ulike lokale bynettverk og plattformer som binder sammen sub-regionen/regionen.…”

“…making place-specific deals or giving specific treatment to some city-regions but not all (Netherlands, England, Portugal, Spain). Multi-level contracts for project financing between the state and city-regional authorities are used as steering mechanism in Norway (Hanssen 2021b), but also in France (including the région) and England. This steering mechanism is absent in Germany.…”

City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by institutional reform and a shift of functions.This book analyses the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state modernisation. The authors provide a systematic cross-country perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions functions, institutions and governance, ideas and space. They describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the results, and consequently, they question the widespread metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance in Europe.The primary readership will be researchers and master students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political science and governance studies, especially those interested in metropolitan regions and / or decentralisation. Due to the uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to scholars working on the comparative European dimension of territorial governance and planning.
