Abstract
The literature on urban governance has so far not significantly contributed to explaining the differentiated growth of cities. By focusing on Paris and London under the Third Industrial Revolution, this article highlights the existence within these cities of two very unequal systems of public-private interactions – strong in London, weak in Paris – and an unequal capacity in the middle-run to produce strategic coordinated decisions at metropolitan level. It illustrates these two situations by comparing both economic promotion ecosystems, suggesting that the economic governance of cities, as systems of permanent and fluid interactions between economic and public actors, plays a catalyst role in the dynamics of cities, by therein reducing transaction costs.
