Multi-Scalar Large Institutional Networks in Regional Planning
Over the past century, metropolitan regions have become the dominant economic units in global society. The multiple networks of organizations that govern growth in metropolises extend far beyond the geographic bounds of any particular region, and involve multiple levels of government. Large institutional networks are the emerging form of these multi-scalar interactions. That metropolitan region planning institutions are comprised of this new composite, termed multi-scalar large institutional networks (MSLIN), has implications for theory, practice, and research, because they evolve, learn, and act on emergent phenomena and via emergent processes in extraordinarily complex and dynamic settings in ways radically distinct from individual organizations and institutions. This article assesses institutional theory in this framework by examining metropolitan infrastructure planning in Madrid, Barcelona, and San Diego.
