Abstract
Path-dependent development together with entrepreneurial capacities and clustering of activities gave Milan a new role as one of the main global centres in media, design and fashion industries. The good fortunes of the city on the economic side have not yet been accompanied by a satisfactory approach in the territorial government and administration. As the city has manifested a patent inability of developing a good 'metropolitan' government, sprawling outside its limits in an apparently uncontrolled way and congesting its centre with cars and polluting fumes, it will be a challenge to see whether it will also be able into a new European metropolis. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
