This report considers how human geographers and other urban scholars are starting to explore city-regionalism from the vantage point of the politics of distribution. It begins with an examination of city-regionalism as a contingently produced geopolitical project in late capitalism. It then reviews work that examines the distributional dilemmas found in city-regions, including related work on post-suburban development politics. The final section argues that the city-region concept affords a useful platform for examining struggles for social justice and urban environmental politics in late capitalism.
