Promoting #megacities has become an economic bet. As I argue in my new @spatialeconomic.bsky.social paper, the promised spillovers of wealth often stop at the #city limits, leaving a fractured map and a slow-burn political #backlash, which is the price of #urban obsession. doi.org/10.1080/1742...

The dynamism of the #megacity rarely trickles down & the fixation on size has fuelled a #geography of #discontent. As I write in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social, real prosperity requires better #institutions & development ecosystems, not just stacking capital in the #metropolis. doi.org/10.1080/1742...

EU funds can build a hospital. They can’t guarantee it works well. #Institutions matter but their quality across the EU is highly uneven. Can Karahasan in @spatialeconomic.bsky.social finds institutional convergence, yet Italy is a reminder that improvement is not automatic. doi.org/10.1080/1742...
