Large cities and metropolitan areas are being transformed by different migratory and economic processes and also, in a relevant way, by residential mobility. This study focuses on the latter, analyzing profiles of the participants in centralization and suburbanization movements in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville and Bilbao, based on data from the 2011 census. Using binomial logistic regression models, we have measured a greater tendency to seek out urban centers of middle classes, educated population and people living in non-traditional households. At the same time, there is a growing suburbanization of young, working-class people involved in family projects. The combination of both movements (which could be individually seen as examples of social mix) is causing an increase in urban segregation, now on a metropolitan scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In spite of critics received, the creative class concept is nowadays a central topic in the literature on territorial development. After a critical review of this concept, a proposal to measurement that concept in Spanish municipals is made using the data available to do this task (Census of Population, 2001). Using simpie descriptive analysis, concentration and presence levels among municipalities are showed regarding their size and metropolitan areas membership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores the construction of metropolitan legitimacy on the basis of three dimensions: output-oriented (outcome of public policies), input-oriented (citizen representation and accountability) and throughput-oriented (the process of decision-making). The debate on efficiency and democracy has been conceptualized by three schools of thought (reform, public choice and new regionalism), discussed in the first part. These approaches promote their own models of metropolitan governance with alternative views on legitimacy. However, the debate on the metropolitan legitimacy has focused on the dimension of the outcomes at the expense of the democratic dimension. The comparison between Barcelona and Montreal in the second part of the article explores the reasons for the democratic deficit in metropolitan areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
