METROPOLITAN AREAS
Joaquim Oliveira Martins
OECD Regional Development Policy Division
Comité Grand Lille, 3 Juillet 2015
Urbanisation is proceeding at an
unprecedented scale
Urbanisation and economic
development

Larger cities are more productive
Larger cities have higher GDP per capita levels:
• They benefit from agglomeration effects
– Larger local labour markets, faster spread of
ideas, more competition, more efficient use of
infrastructure, …
– For a doubling in city size, productivity increases
by 2% - 5%
• They have higher human capital levels
• They are often trade and transport hubs
• They offer opportunities for rent extraction
The economics of urbanisation
Connectedness to cities also benefits surrounding regions
The economics of urbanisation
Cities create agglomeration benefits – but
also agglomeration costs
The economics of urbanisation
The economics of urbanisation
Income inequality has increased most strongly in large cities
• Cities are big polluters because many
people live in them
• Spreading the urban population over a
larger rural area would not improve
environmental impact
• Urban form matters: denser cities have
lower carbon emissions and a smaller land
footprint

Transportemissions(tCO2e/capita)
Urbanised population density (persons per km²)
Denser cities have lower CO2 emissions from transport
• Fragmentation of a metropolitan area into many
municipalities reduces per capita GDP and productivity
– A doubling of the number of municipalities per 100,000
inhabitants reduces productivity by 6%
Good governance for metro areas
• Negative impact of
fragmentation can be reduced
through organisations that
coordinate policies in metro
areas
– Approximately half of the
productivity penalty from municipal
fragmentation disappears when
governance bodies exist
• Metropolitan governance bodies
are common throughout the
OECD
Good governance for metro areas
• Governance bodies also lead to better outcomes in
several other dimensions
Good governance for metro areas
Sprawl Satisfaction with Public
Transport
• Policies not only need to be coordinated across
jurisdictions
• Coordination across policy fields is equally
important
• In particular, land use and transport policies
need to be coordinated in metro areas
– Both policy fields highly complimentary
– Good outcomes in one field only possible with good
outcomes in the other field
Good governance for metro areas
When considering metro governance reform, pay
attention to the reform process
• Focus on the outcomes that are supposed to be
achieved
• Encourage long-term cooperation between involved
actors
• Compensate actors that lose from the reform
• Monitor outcomes of the reform to judge if it is
effective
Good governance for metro areas
THANK YOU

  • 1. THE METROPOLITAN CENTURY & GOVERNING METROPOLITAN AREAS Joaquim Oliveira Martins OECD Regional Development Policy Division Comité Grand Lille, 3 Juillet 2015
  • 2. Urbanisation is proceeding at an unprecedented scale
  • 3. Urbanisation and economic development Levels of urbanisation and per capita GDP (relative to the U.S.) 1970 – 2005
  • 4. The economics of urbanisation 0 20 000 40 000 60 000 80 000 100 000 120 000 Europe (OECD) United States/Canada Mexico/Chile Japan/Korea Averagelabourproductivity 0.5-1 million 1-2 million 2-5 million 5+ million Larger cities are more productive
  • 5. Larger cities have higher GDP per capita levels: • They benefit from agglomeration effects – Larger local labour markets, faster spread of ideas, more competition, more efficient use of infrastructure, … – For a doubling in city size, productivity increases by 2% - 5% • They have higher human capital levels • They are often trade and transport hubs • They offer opportunities for rent extraction The economics of urbanisation
  • 6. Connectedness to cities also benefits surrounding regions The economics of urbanisation
  • 7. Cities create agglomeration benefits – but also agglomeration costs The economics of urbanisation
  • 8. The economics of urbanisation Income inequality has increased most strongly in large cities
  • 9. • Cities are big polluters because many people live in them • Spreading the urban population over a larger rural area would not improve environmental impact • Urban form matters: denser cities have lower carbon emissions and a smaller land footprint The environmental impact of cities
  • 10. The environmental impact of cities Bangkok Barcelona Cape Town Denver Geneva London Los Angeles New York City Prague Toronto Beijing ShanghaiTianjin Chicago Paris-IDF Kitakyushu 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 5 000 10 000 15 000 20 000 25 000 Transportemissions(tCO2e/capita) Urbanised population density (persons per km²) Denser cities have lower CO2 emissions from transport
  • 11. • Fragmentation of a metropolitan area into many municipalities reduces per capita GDP and productivity – A doubling of the number of municipalities per 100,000 inhabitants reduces productivity by 6% Good governance for metro areas
  • 12. • Negative impact of fragmentation can be reduced through organisations that coordinate policies in metro areas – Approximately half of the productivity penalty from municipal fragmentation disappears when governance bodies exist • Metropolitan governance bodies are common throughout the OECD Good governance for metro areas
  • 13. • Governance bodies also lead to better outcomes in several other dimensions Good governance for metro areas Sprawl Satisfaction with Public Transport
  • 14. • Policies not only need to be coordinated across jurisdictions • Coordination across policy fields is equally important • In particular, land use and transport policies need to be coordinated in metro areas – Both policy fields highly complimentary – Good outcomes in one field only possible with good outcomes in the other field Good governance for metro areas
  • 15. When considering metro governance reform, pay attention to the reform process • Focus on the outcomes that are supposed to be achieved • Encourage long-term cooperation between involved actors • Compensate actors that lose from the reform • Monitor outcomes of the reform to judge if it is effective Good governance for metro areas
