| Abstract |
The document presents a review of the experience with major forms of regional government in metropolitan areas. Within four broad categories, case studies were done of nine different types of regional governmental arrangements. Findings were that the core of what is called metropolitan government in the United States is the county, usually reorganized and given urban powers. There are no multi-county general purpose metropolitan governments in the United States. Patterns of regional governmental arrangements based on the urban county were judged more effective in dealing with emerging environmental management problems than patterns based on special districts and regional councils of government. In virtually every case, further state action was needed to make the regional arrangements more effective. Metropolitan regional reorganization has occured in over 20% of the states, and therefore should be possible in most urban states. |
