Abstract

This paper explores the emerging changes in the relationships between cities and their suburbs driven by international institutional. This paper discusses these trends within the new tropes of integration and multi-level governance that are serving to redefine and implement new city/suburban relationships with an emphasis on the role of functional economic areas. This shift suggests a fundamental re-conceptualisation of the power relationships with city dominance dependent on suburban success not serendipity. The underlying re-conceptualisation of this relationship is explored through a discussion of international institutional drivers as they are being implemented throughout states that are OECD members and then considers how these changes are being nudged into effect using statecraft and scalecraft practices. It further examines practices in the UK and concludes with a discussion of these new negotiated relationships between cities and suburbs.
