According to recent changes in the Italian Law, several cities must face off their metropolitan dimension and provide a new plan for this area. I am interested in recent experiences and examples which started form another point of view, based on local cooperation and voluntary actions for setting up scope-based associations, as well as multi-puropose associations of municipalities, that can became a forum and/or a strategic table in which discuss the management of wider areas and work on a common vision/strategy for a large territory. Especially I would like to know samples related with tourism, transportation, urban sustainability and metabolism experiences, but also other kinds of focuses are warm welcome.
Hi Mario
The Council of Mayors: SEQ is a model of cooperation. There are limits in the level of cooperation depending on self interest. I have participated as an officer for a member Council on the Council of Mayors' Infrastructure and Planning Committee.
Their website is http://seqmayors.qld.gov.au/
The overarching planning strategy is provided by the Queensland State Government with input from the Council of Mayors and local authorities directly. The strategy is available at http://www.dilgp.qld.gov.au/planning/regional-planning.html - see South East Regional Plan
Have a look - hope it helps. Happy to answer more detailed questions.
Regards
Bruce James

Dear Mario,
My thesis was a comparison between Metropolitan cooperation and planning in Marseille and Montreal. Maybe you can find some ideas.
Here is an article in English :

If you can read French I can send you some other links.
Good luck with your research!
