Abstract

Large urban regions, capitals of the major European states, have recently developed spatial
planning instruments to face the challenges of managing post-metropolitan spaces with structures
and processes increasingly complex. They cover topics such as local-regional development and its
relationship with the World Cities for a Global Economy Network. Also social challenges are
approached from the quality of life, public safety and social cohesion. Environmental issues are
integrated in speeches such as climate change, energy savings or emissions reductions, often
translated by the design of new public transport networks, which in turn, serve to structure the new
settlements and to re-densify the existing. Finally, a set of more specific spatial strategies as
-containing the sprawl, organization of polycentrism, urban renewal, etc. Are set to address the
management of existing metropolitan dynamics.
