摘要：

In the last 30 years there have been a number of changes in the political and economic contexts in which urban and regional policy is delivered in the United States and the United Kingdom. In both countries understandings of urban policy have crystallized around the notion of the competitive city-region. Despite an apparent convergence of policy, national differences remain important in informing urban and regional policy debates and institutional frameworks in the US and UK. We draw on examples from the North West of England and Southern California to note the continuing significance of national and subnational differences in actual existing institutional and political developments at the urban and regional scales. In light of these differences, we argue that comparative analyses of new, urban and regional policy frameworks need to recognize the role of the politics of space in shaping a world of regionalisms.
