Produktbeschreibung

@text:This text provides an in-depth description and analysis of how metropolitan areas and governments within metropolitan areas developed, efforts to restructure and combine local governments, and governance within the polycentric urban region. The second edition is a major revision to update the scholarship and current thinking on regional governance. Maintaining the background on the historical development and growth of urban areas and governments' efforts to accommodate the growth of metropolitan areas, this edition highlights current efforts to provide governance through cooperative and collaborative solutions. Hamilton also adds extended treatment of how regional governance outside the United States has evolved and how other countries are approaching regional governance.
