A tentative typology of our metropolitan areas: - existing degrees of polycentricity -Type 1

Characteristics:

• one dominant core strong hierarchy

• predominantly radial relations, but hardly criss-cross ones

Examples:

Paris/Ile de France

Warsaw/Mazovia



Characteristics:

• one dominant core relatively strong hierarchy

to the secondary cores which have morphologically merged with central core

• predominantly radial relations, but hardly criss-cross ones

A tentative typology of our metropolitan areas: - existing degrees of polycentricity -

Type 3a

Examples:StockholmRotterdamHelsinki



Polycentricity - sustainability

Density good for – Services and retail– New business locations – more

jobs in subregions– New locations for universities– Culture– Better quality of life at

local/subregional level– Less dependance on dominating

centre– Public transport– Technical services/district

heating/cooling

Some Risks– Implementation– Market enough?– Demand for flexible cooperation– Also private sector
