Megaregions, cross-border regions and city-regions: How do soft spaces matter in territorial governance

During the EuroDelta working group meeting at the annual Metrex conference, Eva Purkarthofer presented her research, comparing megaregional development in the US with macroregional collaboration in Europe. Her insights sparked a lively discussion among participants about the future of the EuroDelta, its key strengths, and the next steps the Alliance should prioritise.

Purkarthofer’s presentation helped clarify the mechanisms of soft planning and the conditions needed for the network to succeed. You can watch the recording of her presentation by clicking on the image above.
