Cross National

There are few systematically comparative cross-national studies of urban policy or service provision, partly because there is little in the way of empirical testable theory that might guide research and partly because the variety of institutional methods of providing and financing urban services in different nation states makes it difficult to carry out such comparisons. Urban systems theory, however, applies to all levels of urban society from local collections of towns and villages right up to the world system of cities. It also enables the development of empirically testable hypotheses linking the hierarchical system of cities with the level of expenditure on public services in metropolitan areas. An examination of data for seventy-six metropolitan regions in France, eighty-three in Italy, seventy-four in West Germany, and sixty-three in England and Wales supports the hypothesis. The article concludes that urban systems theory offers a theoretically well-developed and empirically powerful means of carrying out systematic cross-national comparative urban research.

Constituent Elements

Within urban system, there are relationships between the constituent elements, which function through the consumption of matter and Energy imported from the environment. This study reviews from the systems theory approach the decisions focused on pressing the environment through the El Zapotillo dam in the second most important metropolis in Mexico. The Entropy-Homeostasis-Negentropy model is used. The results obtained show that the decisions for the water supply of the metropolis are limited to short-term negentropies, both in the functioning and in the configuration of the surrounding systems. In this way, it becomes urgent to specify systemic actions that promote the Integrated Management of Water Resources (IWRM).
