The Committee of the Regions has published a study prepared by OIR and partners – “The impacts of metropolitan regions on their surrounding areas”. This brief study presents an overview of the different types of spill-over effects of metropolitan regions on neighbouring regions as well as the diverse solutions and governance set-ups designed to manage these effects. It culminates in recommendations to strengthen metropolitan cooperation as well as the possible role of ESI-funds.

It culminates in recommendations to strengthen metropolitan cooperation as well as the possible role of ESI-funds. The study has investigated specific examples of metropolitan governance and planning in Barcelona, Frankfurt, Katowice, Nantes, Rheintal and Stockholm.
