- More about City Regions and Devolution in the UK: The Politics of Representation
The city region has become a de facto spatial centre of governance for economic and social development, but it faces tensions and opportunities for local elites and civil society actors. This book provides a critique of city-region building and considers how governance restructuring shapes the political, economic, social, and cultural geographies of devolution, based on case studies of the Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea Bay City Regions, Cardiff Capital Region, and the North Wales Growth Deal.

In recent years, the ‘city region’ has seen a renaissance as the de facto spatial centre of governance for economic and social development.
Rich in case study insights, this book provides a critique of city-region building and considers how governance restructuring shapes the political, economic, social and cultural geographies of devolution. Reviewing the Greater Manchester, Sheffield, Swansea Bay City Regions, Cardiff Capital Region and the North Wales Growth Deal, the authors address the tensions and opportunities for local elites and civil society actors.
Based on original empirical material, situated within cutting edge academic and policy debates, this book is a timely and lively engagement with the shifting geographies of economic and social development in Britain.
