Urban governance and regeneration policies in historic city centres: Madrid and Barcelona

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
In this article we seek to analyse and compare the models of regeneration of the city centres of Barcelona and Madrid in the light of the transformation of urban governance in  Spain. New ways of network governance are emerging in European cities and Madrid  and Barcelona are no exception. Urban policies are evolving towards the creation of  more integrated strategies for regeneration that involve not only multiple public stakeholders, but also private actors including social and community organizations. Despite  both cities showing some common trends, the analysis reveals significant differences  between the two cities, both in terms of the composition and the dynamics of the governance networks, and the priorities and strategies for regeneration. The article concludes  by discussing the possible explanatory factors for such differences and their political  implications.
