<!-- Abstract -->
This contribution focuses on innovations in urban governance
          in the framework of new relationships between local and regional policy-making
          arenas developing in approaches to &#145;experimental regionalisation&#146;.
          Empirical reference is made to a German city-region in the Rhine-Ruhr
          area &#150; the city of Duisburg within the Region Niederrhein &#150;
          in light of the new opportunities for innovation fostered by state-sponsored
          approaches to regionalisation of structural policies based on decentralised
          and self-organised forms of mobilisation and co-operation.<br>
          The perspective chosen points to the constructivist and co-evolutive
          dimension of innovation-oriented networking processes, focussing on
          the transformation of governance settings at the local level as a response
          to the new environment of regional policy and on the particular dimension
          represented by local-regional relationships in a perspective of a mutual
          fertilisation and diffusion of innovative practices.
