Metropolitan Governance in Spain: The Case of Madrid
Wednesday, July 24, 2024 · 11:00am
Although metropolitan areas are recognized legal entities in Spain, few exist in practice. Unlike most other large European cities, Madrid – the largest urban area in Spain and one of the most populated in Europe – lacks metropolitan institutions. This seminar will analyze why this is so, why the issue is on the current political agenda, and what factors facilitate and/or hinder the constitution of metropolitan governance in Madrid.
