Abstract

At the turn of the twenty-first century, nearly half of the worlds population (about three billion people) lives in urban areas. It is estimated that in the next twenty-five years, almost two billion more people will move to cities. Essentially all of these significant changes will occur in developing countries, both in terms of the total global urban population as well as increased percentage of the individual countrys population living in urban areas. Looking at urbanization trends in the last 50 years, it has become clear that the classical (weberian) concept of "cities" as territorially integrated socio-economic and political entities is definitely out of date. The 21st centurys cities are metropolitan areas, developing along flows rather than places (Castells 2000). They are characterized by urban SPRAWL, which has broken up the historic boundaries of the city, extending on the surrounding rural space by waves of suburbanization. Changes in the structure of contemporary urbanization raise the problem of social, economic and political governability, and in particular, of the emerging large metropolitan complexes. METROPOLITAN REGIONS are one of the emerging phenomena of the 20th century which have turned to a dominant pattern of urbanization at the beginning of third millennium. These METROPOLITAN REGIONS which have experienced transformation in role and functions, evolution in form and structure and changes in the meaning and concept, due to various forces and factors, have followed a certain process and mechanism in formation, evolution and transformation temporally and spatially, and in both the developed and the developing countries. It is quite clear that the concept of "Metropolitan transformation" is of great significance in the formation process of the Metropolis. However, the same problem of giving a precise definition exists here as well. In general, Metropolitan transformation refers to a phase of urban development in which the problems and the growth potential acquire a separate spatial dimension. The bases of Metropolitan transformation are constituted by concentration economies, information provision and networking of enterprises and spatial interdependences through the intensity of relationships and flows of the Metropolis with its greater influence zone. The effective causes and factors in formation and evolution process of METROPOLITAN REGIONS is one of the most debated topics in urban social science. In this article the effective causes and factors, using with analytic method and documentary information, is surveyed and analyzed and bases on the finding of this survey and analysis, seeks to develop a general conceptual framework for understanding how "METROPOLITAN REGIONS" emerge and are continually reproduced and transformed by and through the practices of various forces and factors. The present study shows that the formation, evolution and transformation of METROPOLITAN REGIONS are an outcome of external driving forces and factors like globalization, economic RESTRUCTURING (deindustrialization, tertiarization, emergence of knowledge base economic and so on) accompanied by internal factors like accelerating in growth population, migration, urban SPRAWL, informal and spontaneous settlements in metropolitan fringe, suburbanization, POLITICAL FRAGMENTATION and infrastructure investment in central cities. These factors have led to spatial RESTRUCTURING and evolution of METROPOLITAN REGIONS in a certain process.
