随着国家以下各级治理结构主要由经济目标驱动，一个日益被忽视的问题是身份问题。通过对谢菲尔德城市地区利益相关者的访谈，本文以Jones和Woods 2013年的“物质”和“想象”一致性框架为基础，展示了在从地区到城市地区的重新调整背景下重塑国家以下各级治理的“想象”挑战。它表明，即使在没有相关的物质治理组成部分的情况下，历史上的区域特征也可以持续存在，重新调整规模可能会在物质和想象的一致性之间造成不对称，导致相互竞争的障碍，阻碍新的国家以下一级的安排。
With the structuring of subnational governance driven primarily by economic goals, an issue that has become increasingly overlooked is that of identity. Drawing on interviews with stakeholders from the Sheffield City Region, the paper builds on Jones and Woods’ framework of 2013 of ‘material’ and ‘imagined’ coherence, demonstrating the ‘imaginary’ challenge of remaking subnational governance in the context of rescaling from regions to city-regions. It shows that historical regional identities can persist even in the absence of associated material components of governance, and that rescaling can create asymmetries between material and imagined coherence, resulting in competing imaginaries that hinder the new subnational arrangements.
