| Abstract: | In this paper it is argued that the re-establishment of a metropolitan government in the Greater Copenhagen Area in 2000 (Greater
Copenhagen Authority) is not to be seen as a return to the kind of regional, coordinative authority (Greater Copenhagen Council)
that was abolished in the Thatcherite climate of the 1980s. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s new forms of urban governance,
entrepreneurialism and a higher national priority to the capital region were introduced, which changed the conditions under
which the new metropolitan government is operating. This `contextualization' of the analysis of the two generations of metropolitan
government points to the fact that typologies of metropolitan government, such as the one put forward by Sharpe (1995), often
lacks analytical cogency.
