This report summarises the intense work undertaken over an 18-month period by the
METREX Expert Group on Intra-Metropolitan Polycentricity (IMP) set up in early 2009 on
the initiative of the Regional Planning Office, Stockholm County Council, to discuss the
complex concept of polycentricity.
As chair of this group I must take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all parties
who have been regular members of the Expert Group and who have spent a considerable
amount of time sharing their knowledge of polycentricity. Either by filling in the
questionnaires circulated or by enthusiastically taking part in the many discussions we
have had in this group. You will find a list of participants, including contact details,
appended to the report.
Our special thanks should go to Roger Read and METREX, who made it possible to set up
the Expert Group and who also generously contributed financially. Others who have
contributed financially include the City of Stockholm, the Regional Planning Office in
Stockholm and Nordregio, the Nordic Centre for Spatial Development.
As the Expert Group grew to become much larger than originally anticipated Nordregio
was contracted to lend their expertise and to act as facilitators. Our special thanks here
go to Peter Schmitt and Susan Brockett for their professional input throughout the whole
process of the Expert Group leading up to this report.
Finally thanks also to those who have hosted workshops as part of the METREX meetings
(Paris, Vilnius, Berlin) or as extra meetings in between (Sofia, Leipzig).
No single understanding or interpretation of polycentricity exists. There are instead many
different ways of understanding this concept. You will quickly see this when reading the
report. The report itself reflects the diversity of the participating metropolitan regions. It
is also important to understand that the report is not scientific in character but rather
something that reflects the views of the participating practitioners.
