Planning and Governance for Resilient Metropolises in Brazil and Germany – Arrangements for Institutional Collective Action
Resumo
Metropolises are a fundamental characteristic of the 21st century due to the unprecedented urbanization that has seen cities transcend their traditional boundaries. At the heart of the metropolitan question, there is the need for collective decisions and coordinated joint action in a territory characterized by the existence of multiple governments and social actors with different interests, preferences, and resources. Conse-quently, new institutional arrangements for metropolitan management have continued to evolve aiming to overcome the dilemma of collective action. In this article, we present some principal findings of a study that examines the institutional arrangements of metropolitan governance in the metropolises of Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte (Brazil), as well as Stuttgart and Hannover (Germany), based on the institutional collective action framework. The research is based on the analysis of the relevant literature, reports, secondary stud-ies, and the conduction of a semi-structured panel interview researchers, revealing varied vertical and hor-izontal cooperation arrangements, the strengths and weaknesses of their institutional design, and contex-tual factors that have shaped the governance and planning structures and the possibilities of resilient met-ropolitan development. The article concludes with some recommendations for the implementation of insti-tutional arrangements at the metropolitan scale for emerging metropolises, particularly in the Global South.
