This study extends the literature on polycentric urban regions through a situated account of the politicized nature of polycentric city-regional development. This is achieved through an analysis of the uneven development of bridge connections within the Pearl River Delta, China. By analysing the region’s polycentric development from the prism of the politics of transport connections and by viewing bridge alignment negotiations as government-led efforts to shape physical and functional polycentricity, we highlight the importance of a governance framework. This governance framework can complement large-scale quantitative analyses of polycentric urban regions.
