The comparative analysis of urban policies

Urban policy is an increasingly important policy domain in international and national agendas, intended to cope with the complexity of urban problems. This article introduces main analytical elements to analyse urban policies as multi-level policy mixes proposing and validating an original methodological approach (the comparative urban portfolio analysis). Main results show the importance of two basic orientations (contextual and redistributive) to understand the intervention strategy of local plans and urban policies as policy mixes.
