Summary The phenomenon of metropolisation in Mexico dates from the 1940s, but it was up to the 1970s when the first instruments to regulate the phenomenon emerged, such as declarations of conurbation. or the granting of powers to municipalities to join. Since then, the phenomenon of metropolisation has spread in most of the country's large and medium-sized cities and has forced municipalities to negotiate, find agreements and resolve conflicts. In this context, the notion of urban governance, as understood by scientists, takes on unusual dimensions depending on the interests and projects of each municipality. In the state of Veracruz we have identified the Metropolitan Area of Xalapa, where several municipalities coexist in the same urban area. Inter-municipal dynamics reflect the limits of the governance theory and the difficulty of formulating a public government agenda applicable on a metropolitan scale. In this context, we will first briefly address the main assumptions raised by the theory of urban governance; we will then present a chronic overview of the main problems identified in the Metropolitan Area of Xalapa, which illustrate the difficulties that arise in governing a fragmented territory. Third, we will cross-check the approaches presented by urban governance and conclude by explaining the difficulties that conurbated areas in Mexico face as part of the public policy process in formulating a government agenda on a metropolitan scale. ; Resumen El fenómeno de metropolización en México data de la década de los cuarenta, sin embargo fue hasta los setenta cuando surgieron los primeros instrumentos para regular el fenómeno, tales como las "declaratorias de conurbación" o el otorgamiento de facultades a los municipios para asociarse.

En este contexto la noción de "gobernabilidad urbana", tal como es ...
