Abstract
We are living in the century of metropolitan development when the majority of the world population resides in the metropolitan regions. Metropolitan regions are prospered in every continent, and they present many profound challenges and opportunities. Also, the emerging world mega-regions are the real powerhouses in today’s global economy. This chapter highlights that the majority of the metropolises and megacities, particularly in the global south, are in crisis stage, and rejuvenating them will be the biggest challenge in the years to come. For almost the last two decades, existing metropolises and megacities in the global south have gone through the neoliberal market-driven local-global interface in metropolitan transformation. The metropolitan management tools, techniques, and policies (spatial planning and management) need to be retrofitted in order for metropolitan cities to become more innovative, planned, sustainable, and equitable in the future. The impact of metropolises and megacities on regional, national and global level and their competitiveness are a new emerging area that requires an integrated regional approach which requires constant professional attention from focus of planners, city managers, and policymakers.
