Abstract
Hall P. Looking backward, looking forward: the city region of the mid-21st century, Regional Studies. Emerging as a serious tool of analysis in the United States around 1950, the city region concept was increasingly applied in a European context after 1980. Since 2000, it has evolved further with recognition of the polycentric Mega-City Region, first recognized in Eastern Asia, but now seen as an emerging urban form both in Europe and the United States. The paper speculates on the main changes that may impact on the growth and development of such complex urban regions in the first half of the 21st century, concluding that achieving the goal of polycentric urban development may prove more complex than at first it may seem. [image omitted] Hall P. Une retrospective et une prospective: la cite-region du milieu du 21ieme siecle, Regional Studies. La notion de la cite-region, qui a vu le jour comme outil d'analyse important aux Etats-Unis aux alentours de 1950, est appliquee de plus en plus au contexte europeen apres 1980. Depuis l'an 2000, elle se developpe suite a la reconnaissance de la megacite-region polycentrique. Cette derniere a ete reconnue pour la premiere fois en Asie de l'Est. Actuellement, on la considere comme une forme urbaine naissante a la fois en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. L'article specule sur les principaux changements qui pourraient avoir un impact sur la croissance et le developpement de telles regions urbaines complexes pendant la premiere moitie du 21ieme siecle. En guise de conclusion, on affirme que la realisation du developpement urbain polycentrique pourrait s'averer plus difficile que l'on n'avait pu prevoir au depart. Prevision Cites-regions Amenagement du territoire Hall P. Blick zuruck, Blick nach vorne: die Stadtregion in der Mitte des 21. Jahrhunderts, Regional Studies. Das Konzept der Stadtregion entstand in den funfziger Jahren als ernsthaftes Analyseinstrument in den USA und fand nach 1980 zunehmend auch im europaischen Kontext Anwendung. Seit dem Jahr 2000 hat es sich mit der Anerkennung der polyzentrischen Megastadtregion weiterentwickelt, einer Form, die zuerst in Ostasien anerkannt wurde, aber inzwischen auch in Europa und den USA als entstehende urbane Form angesehen wird. In diesem Beitrag wird uber die wichtigsten Veranderungen gemutmasst, die sich in der ersten Halfte des 21. Jahrhunderts auf das Wachstum und die Entwicklung dieser komplexen urbanen Regionen auswirken konnten, mit dem Fazit, dass sich die Verwirklichung des Ziels der polyzentrischen Stadtentwicklung als komplexer erweisen konnte als zunachst angenommen. Prognosen Stadtregionen Raumentwicklung Hall P. Mirando al pasado, mirando al futuro: la region metropolitana en la mitad del siglo XXI, Regional Studies. El concepto de la region metropolitana, que surgio como herramienta seria de analisis en los Estados Unidos alrededor de los cincuenta, se aplico cada vez mas al contexto europeo despues de 1980. Desde 2000, ha avanzado aun mas con el reconocimiento de la region policentrica mega-ciudad, reconocida por primera vez al este de Asia pero ahora vista como una forma emergente urbana tanto en Europa como en los Estados Unidos. En este articulo se preven los principales cambios que podrian repercutir en el crecimiento y el desarrollo de tales regiones urbanas complejas en la primera mitad del siglo XXI, concluyendo que lograr el objetivo de desarrollo urbano policentrico podria ser mas complejo que lo que podria parecer en un primer momento.
