1207 | 891 | Spatial justice and regional gaps in the post-metropolitan area of Milan. Socio-residential specialisation processes at the intersection between urban regionalisation and the crisis of public action. | Andrea Visioli

Today, the post-metropolitan area of Milan a regionalised assemblage with great economic relevance in the global context. The regionalisation processes constitute a theorisation of the dialectical dimension of socio-territorial processes that is useful to understand which processes currently engage the Milanese urban region. The post-metropolitan condition outlined by various authors evokes a renewed urban question, mainly linked to new socio-economic and territorial dynamics._x000D_
The present research brings into tension the description of the process of regionalisation as a process of social, land use and functions heterogenization. In particular, the analysis focuses on the effect of the economic and financial crisis of 2007 on the concentration of capital, both public and private, within the post-metropolitan area, understanding how the crisis acted on the one hand on the production system and thus on the accumulation of private capital and on the other hand on the spending capacity of public institutions._x000D_
What emerges, in the decade following the outbreak of the crisis, is an increase in the socio-residential specialisation of territories linked to path dependence dynamics of fragilization of certain territories and of concentration of capital in a few enclaves selected by the metropolitan elite as residence. In the same period, various reforms around fiscal federalism and spending review led to a decrease in transfer of funds to local authorities and a reduction in their spending capacity. This generated an increase in the correlation between the ability of local authorities to provide for the needs of their population and the socio-economic well-being of their residents._x000D_
What emerges is an urban region marked by strong socio-economic gaps and fractures among territories which assume an over-municipal extension, which raises questions about which administrative level, how and with which resources should intervene to stop and reve

1207 | | Regions and regionalisation : evolving trends and forms | Thomas Perrin (1); Rafael Giménez Capdevila (2)

This session deals with the region, as several recent works show that the region remains a key notion for socio-territorial organization at different scales (Abels & Battke, 2019; Frémont & Guermond, 2016; Harrison, Galland & Tewdwr-Jones, 2021; Purkarthofer, Humer & Mäntysalo, 2021; Lingua & Balz, 2020; Neuman & Zonneveld, 2021; Paasi, Harrison & Jones, 2018; Perrin, 2022, 2022b; Perrin & Seys, 2019, 2019b).
The objective is to appraise the notion of region today and its significance notably in geography and planning, without excluding approaches and works on region and regionalisation stemming from other scientific fields (sociology, political science, cultural studies, etc.)
In particular, the session intends to address the new forms of regions and regionalisation that emerge at different scales: metropolitan regions, cross-border regions, macro-regions, informal planning regions, among others. The idea is to discuss to what extent these new regional forms interact with more classical or institutional forms of region, in order to respond to actual social needs and policy questions. Another question can be to what extent these emerging regions can stabilise or consolidate. In this way the session should deliver a renewed vision of the evolutive link between geography, planning policies and societies.The session accept communications in English, French, Spanish or Catalan.
