Description: "This book examines in detail the issue of the governance of metropolitan regions in North America (US, Canada, Mexico) and also provides an overview of the experience in several European cities. It considers specific cities in the US and Canada and examines how they have dealt with the issues of providing services in a metropolitan context either through formal government structure or informal governance arrangements. The book is unique in the sense that it examines the metropolitan governance issue in a comparative urban context and also in an international context."--Jacket.
