Abstract

The roots of many problems that cities nowadays face are the outside of their realm. In fact, different studies on cities and their suburbs in the entire world indicates that cooperation between central city and their suburbs are absolutely necessary to address these regional problems such as urban sprawl, unemployment, devas tation of agriculture and open spaces, social injus tice, and environmental injus tice. Mashhad metropolitan is not an exception in this paradigm and faces with many and various problems such as urban sprawl, devas tation of agriculture and open spaces which are originated at a higher level in the Metropolitan region of Mashhad. The Metropolitan region of Mashhad consis ts of four different and separate counties; Mashhad, Fariman, Chenaran and las tly Binalud. The regional management in Metropolitan region of Mashhad is not well integrated and thus, manifes ted in the chaotic and somehow win-lose competitions within the aforementioned regions. New regionalism approach has the capability to reduce the rivalries and es tablishing collaborative milieu. For applying New regionalism, it is needed to apply Multilevel governance approach in the regional scale. This article aims to s tudy regional management sys tem based on the New regionalism approach to address the problems of Metropolitan region in Mashhad. Thus, firs tly, the shortcomings of New regionalism and regional management methods are analyzed. After that, current regional management sys tem of Metropolitan region of Mashhad is carefully studied. Therefore, the bes t regional management method for covering the shortcomings in the Metropolitan region of Mashhad is deliberated. Research review method is used and explained in the literature review of New regionalism and regional management. Also, in s tudying regional management sys tem of Metropolitan region of Mashhad, descriptive-analytical research method is used. The research method is based on analyzing secondary data and formal related documents about Mashhad’ s spatial management system. In addition, the academic sources with regards to regional management and New regionalism have been reviewed neatly and carefully to provide the necessary theoretical framework for the problems. New regionalism is an approach which recognizes certain regions that are capable of cooperation and integration among their intra-regional ins titutions in pursue of political, socio-economic, cultural, and environmental synergies. The bes t way for applying New regionalism is through governance. In fact governance is complement of New regionalism. New regionalism should be implemented s tep by s tep and carefully to ease the resis tance to change as well as to give it sufficient time for tailoring the mos t appropriate ins titutional arrangement. Also, the mos t efficient way for cooperation between regional actors is Multilevel governance which mos tly is based on subsidiarity. Research findings sugges ts that Multilevel governance sys tem with the participation of all regional actors based on subsidiarity can be an effective regional management sys tem of Metropolitan region of Mashhad. For the Metropolitan region of Mashhad two-level governance is recommended: the first level is in the territory of Metropolitan region with participation of s tate, public and private sector and civil society. The second level is in the territory of the formerly introduced and aforementioned counties (Mashhad, Fariman, Chenaran and Binalud).
