Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. London, 18 March 2016 Signature: 3 Abstract This research project investigates whether second-tier urban regions in Europe have functional, spatial, socio-economic and institutional characteristics which differentiate them in meaningful ways from primate urban regions. Based on the argument that second-tier urban regions can particularly profit from integration at that scale, it then explores whether the specific features detected may provide them with a greater ability to pursue that goal. The study fills two important gaps, as we do not know what differentiates second-tier urban regions regarding the aspects above, and in what ways those characteristics affect their integration processes. The research also helps to reveal a new and yet unexplored set of strategic options for second-tier cities, whose urgency is proportional to the extent to which they are neglected or hampered in their national urban systems. At a moment when cities have turned into large urban regions, size, functional mass and diversity and city-regional governance have been argued as major drivers of economic development, and the European economic and policy climate favours strategies that work more effectively with existing assets rather than adding new ones, integration is not only an ongoing territorial process but also a relevant strategic approach for second-tier urban regions. The research proposes an original interpretative lens to observe the integration of urban regions, namely the concept of metropolisation, a perspective which is not spatially selective and acknowledges different forms of urbanity, making a conceptual transition from a notion of cities dissolving into urban regions to one of urban regions consolidating into ‘extensive cities’. The appropriateness of this concept to read contemporary urbanisation modes may find a particularly fitting response in the spatial features of second-tier urban regions. The study applies a set of comparative research methods to European second-tier urban regions, gradually focusing on three main cases studies: Porto, Portugal, Bristol, UK and Antwerp, Belgium. 4 Contents List of Figures and Tables 11 Acknowledgements 14 Chapter One.

  • E-Petition Session: TV Licensing, HC 1233
    Petitions Committee Oral evidence: E-petition session: TV Licensing, HC 1233 Monday 1 March 2021 Ordered by the House of Commons to be published on 1 March 2021. Watch the meeting Members present: Catherine McKinnell (Chair); Tonia Antoniazzi; Jonathan Gullis. Other Members present: Rosie Cooper; Damian Collins; Gill Furniss; Gareth Bacon; Jamie Stone; Ben Bradley; Tahir Ali; Brendan Clarke-Smith; Allan Dorans; Virginia Crosbie; Mr Gregory Campbell; Simon Jupp; Jeff Smith; Huw Merriman; Chris Bryant; Mark Eastwood; Ian Paisley; John Nicolson; Chris Matheson; Rt Hon Mr John Whittingdale OBE, Minister for Media and Data. Questions 1-21 Chair: Thank you all for joining us today. Today’s e-petition session has been scheduled to give Members from across the House an opportunity to discuss TV licensing. Sessions like this would normally take place in Westminster Hall, but due to the suspension of sittings, we have started holding these sessions as an alternative way to consider the issues raised by petitions and present these to Government. We have received more requests to take part than could be accommodated in the 90 minutes that we are able to schedule today. Even with a short speech limit for Back- Bench contributions, it shows just how important this issue is to Members right across the House. I am pleased to be holding this session virtually, and it means that Members who are shielding or self-isolating, and who are unable to take part in Westminster Hall debates, are able to participate. I am also pleased that we have Front-Bench speakers and that we have the Minister attending to respond to the debate today.

Legacy as well as emergent factors contribute to this trend. An old urban bias from colonial and post-independence times was supplanted by a newer metropolitan bias as global investments began to arrive on these shores. More poorly served by social and physical investments, individuals in rural areas are less well prepared to compete for the better positions. Trends in the technology of manufacturing processes are worsening the prospects for rural youth. Citizenship bonds between the urban rich and the poor in rural areas are fraying as widening differences in lifestyles and aspirations, overlaid on existing inequalities, are cleaving societies into disparate segments of space-age rich and stone-age poor residents. Managing their vastly unequal situations within a common framework of policies and laws is making the tasks of a development state more difficult. This paper examines the forces giving rise to urban-rural inequality and presents the need for institutional and policy reforms. Keywords: Inequality, rural–urban difference, developing countries Krishna, A.

Der kleine Ort am Polarkreis zählt nur 3.100 Einwohner, und doch ist er in Fachkreisen ein Begriff. Dieser Teil Schwedens wird die „Schnee- kammer der Autoindustrie“ genannt. Hier müssen die neuesten Automodelle im Tarnanzug unter strengster Beobachtung der Elite von Autotechnikern und Inge- nieuren den „Elchtest“ bestehen. Ohne die Testwirtschaft, die pro Jahr mehr als 50 Millionen Euro umsetzt, gäbe es dort kaum Arbeit. Und ohne die Wintertests gäbe es auch die Hornavanschule nicht. Die weltweit nördlichste DSD-Schule bietet seit einigen Jahren einen einmaligen Ausbildungsgang an: das Fach Auto- systemtechnik. Die Ausbildung soll dazu beitragen, das Know-how in der Region weiter zu stärken und die Automobil- und Zulieferindustrie mit qualifizierten Fachkräften zu versorgen. Dieses Beispiel veranschaulicht einmal mehr, wie wichtig Deutsche Schulen im Ausland für die deutsche Wirtschaft sind: Kindern deutscher Experten und Kin- dern des Sitzlandes bieten sie eine qualitativ hochwertige Ausbildung. Ihre Ab- solventen besetzen vielfach hochrangige Positionen in Politik und Wirtschaft im In- und Ausland. Es zeigt aber auch, wie das Zusammenspiel zwischen Schulen und Wirtschaft funktionieren kann und muss, damit dem Mangel an Fach- und Führungskräften entgegengewirkt werden kann.
