Abstract

Former socialist countries still suffer from the absence of planning at a higher administrative level. To develop a metropolitan governance model, strengthen the partner-ship between the hinterland and core cities, and eliminate obstacles stemming from the local government fragmentation, the paper aims to introduce the steps for the institu-tionalization of metropolitan cooperation in the Czech Republic, being demonstrated by the example of the Brno Metropolitan Area (BMA), a leader in the development of in-termunicipal cooperation. The procedure is based on transferable experience from foreign countries and robust surveys among mayors in BMA (carried out in 2020, 175 municipali-ties, 96% response rate) and tens of experts on metropolitan issues. Selected results show that a mutual willingness to create an institution (metropolitan unit) responsible for har-monic metropolitan development, delegate some municipal competencies to a higher level and to contribute to a metropolitan fund was found. The participation of municipalities in the institution is proposed indirectly through voluntary association of municipalities, which would be intermediate between local and metropolitan levels. However, for imple-mentation at the national level, a valid and effective legislative regulation is needed. URL: https://www.gcass.science.upjs.sk/

通过建立都市单位实现都市合作:以捷克布尔诺都市圈为例

前社会主义国家仍然受到缺乏更高行政层次计划的困扰。为了构建城市治理模式，加强腹地与核心城市之间的合作，消除地方政府碎片化所带来的障碍，本文以捷克城市间合作发展的领头羊布尔诺大都市区(BMA)为例，介绍了捷克城市合作制度化的步骤。该程序基于国外可借鉴的经验，以及对BMA市长(2020年在175个城市开展，回复率96%)和数十名大都市问题专家的有力调查。选定的结果表明，发现了建立一个负责协调大都市发展的机构(大都市单位)的共同意愿，将一些市政能力下放到更高的级别，并为大都市基金做出贡献。建议市政当局通过市政当局的自愿联合间接参与该机构，这将是地方和都市一级之间的中间机构。然而，为了在国家一级实施，需要一个有效的立法条例。URL: https://www.gcass.science.upjs.sk/
