The chapter considers some elements of continuity and rupture in the governance of the metropolis of Southern Europe, trying to understand how they are responding to the various contingent or systemic ‘upheavals’ that have occurred since the 2008 subprime crisis. These forces seem to foster intense processes of metropolisation and regionalisation of the urban, which affect the network between institutional actors at different levels and the field of the mechanisms of metropolitan spatial transformation. The focus is on large-scale urban development projects because they reveal a complex and contested dynamic that has affected the cities of Southern Europe in different ways. Indeed, the cases explored in Athens, Madrid, Milan and Rome highlight the involvement of a complex array of global and local actors and the emergence of a neo-liberal approach to urban planning and policy, which has led to the privatisation of goods and services – and, in the process, to the financialisation of urban land.
Il capitolo considera alcuni elementi di continuità e di rottura nella governance delle metropoli dell'Europa meridionale, cercando di capire come esse stiano rispondendo ai vari “sconvolgimenti” contingenti o sistemici che si sono verificati a partire dalla crisi subprime del 2008. Queste forze sembrano favorire intensi processi di metropolizzazione e regionalizzazione dell'urbano, che influenzano la rete tra gli attori istituzionali a diversi livelli e il campo dei meccanismi di trasformazione spaziale metropolitana. L'attenzione si concentra sui progetti di sviluppo urbano su larga scala perché rivelano una dinamica complessa e contestata che ha interessato le città dell'Europa meridionale in modi diversi. Infatti, i casi esplorati di Atene, Madrid, Milano e Roma evidenziano il coinvolgimento di una serie complessa di attori globali e locali e l'emergere di un approccio neoliberale alla pianificazione e alla politica urbana, che ha portato alla privatizzazione di beni e servizi e, nel processo, alla finanziarizzazione del territorio urbano.

Abstract
The chapter considers some elements of continuity and rupture in the governance of the metropolis of Southern Europe, trying to understand how they are responding to the various contingent or systemic ‘upheavals’ that have occurred since the 2008 subprime crisis. These forces seem to foster intense processes of metropolisation and regionalisation of the urban, which affect the network between institutional actors at different levels and the field of the mechanisms of metropolitan spatial transformation. The focus is on large-scale urban development projects because they reveal a complex and contested dynamic that has affected the cities of Southern Europe in different ways. Indeed, the cases explored in Athens, Madrid, Milan and Rome highlight the involvement of a complex array of global and local actors and the emergence of a neo-liberal approach to urban planning and policy, which has led to the privatisation of goods and services – and, in the process, to the financialisation of urban land.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
