Summary/Abstract: Functional relationships between administrative units that create metropolitan areas generate the need for an integrated approach to managing metropolitan development. This, in turn, requires cooperation of various stakeholders, which leads to a departure from hierarchical management to the governance concept. The purpose of this article is to identify which forms of integration are applied in the functional areas of Scandinavian countries and how the integrated management approach is implemented in practice. The analysis has been subjected to the forms and areas of cooperation taking place in metropolitan areas of particular capitals.
