This book titled Governing Complex City-Regions in the Twenty-first Century delves into the intricate dynamics of urban governance amidst the rapid evolution of city-regions worldwide. It highlights the challenges faced by scholars and practitioners in comprehending and responding to the complexities of contemporary urban processes. Drawing on the experiences of BRICS countries, the book explores how diverse urban agents navigate the complexities of collective action within multi-layered institutions and fragmented decision-making structures. It critiques the notion of 'best practice' governance approaches, emphasising that effective strategies emerge from the interactions of various actors within unique political contexts. While it refrains from offering ready-made solutions, the book advocates for comparative studies to inspire innovative perspectives and potentially enhance governance practises, particularly within South African contexts.
