We present a hierarchical model predictive control approach for 
large-scale systems based on dual decomposition. The proposed scheme 
allows coupling in both dynamics and constraints between the 
subsystems and generates a primal feasible solution within a finite 
number of iterations, using primal averaging and a constraint 
tightening approach. The primal update is performed in a distributed 
way and does not require exact solutions, while the dual problem uses 
an approximate subgradient method. Stability of the scheme is 
established using bounded suboptimality.
