Abstract

The article explores the evolution of urban policies in relation to three questions: political
agenda, driving scales —national, regional, local— and public/private character. The analysis
is undertaken on several Madrid urban polycentric system of intermediary cities classified as:
historic-administrative, historic-economic and metropolitan. The results show increasing
complexity in urban policies and their diversity according to the cities socio-economic paths
and geographic characteristics. Furthermore, urban policies in these cities show that: i) there
is a growing spatial selectivity of private investment, ii) they are deployed in a multi-scale
context without a clear common territorial project and iii) emerging strategic urban policies
driven bottom up.
