Nowadays, recent evolution of eu urban regions imposes a focus on forms of governance and on the role of public actors in proposing adequate and relevant projects for post-metropolis. The aim of this article is discussing the potential of spatial knowledge - an alternative form of territorial representations based on performative approaches and interpretative readings - within processes of decision making, especially when consolidated concepts, techniques and tools are not effective, as when they are involved in reading the inter-municipal scale. Two experiences in the Regione Veneto (Italy) and in the Comunidad Autonoma Castilla y Leon (Spain), show the role of this pioneering methodology as driver of alternative visions, cohesive strategies and place-based approaches for local governments and the opportunities provided by the integration of consolidated and alternative practices within spatial planning discipline

Keywords: Spatial knowledge; inter-municipal scale; smart governance
