	Metropolitan Government
		Metro Toronto served as the model for the regional governments of Ottawa-Carleton (1969), Hamilton-Wentworth (1974) and the metropolitan corporation of Greater Winnipeg (1961-71); however, in Winnipeg the metro council was directly elected and its responsibilities fewer.
		Metropolitan governments always seem to be the subject of some sort of ROYAL COMMISSION.
		For example, metropolitan governments would sell water wholesale to municipalities, which were responsible for local deliveries; build freeways, although municipalities controlled local roads and parking; issue area-wide plans, but leave municipalities the power to issue building permits and make the water and sewage connections.

	Rockefeller Commission on Population and the American Future - Chapter 6 Government
		Government represents not only a universally and vitally important segment of our national life that is affected by population change; it also constitutes the channel through which a national concern with population must act to affect the causes and cope with the consequences of population growth and change.
		And, it may be difficult to persuade elected officials in districts or states that would lose population relative to other areas, that the national interest demands a planned reduction in the population of their constituency—and a consequent reduction in the number of representatives, political influence, and federal funds tied to population size criteria.
		The fragmentation of metropolitan areas into many municipalities, each with power to zone its own land, and each relying on its property tax base for general revenues, effectively prevents the organization or coordination of local zoning changes to implement a strategy for population distribution or development on a metropolitan-wide basis.

	Metropolitan Government (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The metropolitan government could zone its various metropolitan regions into areas for specialized activities, such as the central business district, metro parks, and industrial parks but it would have to be able to demonstrate the rationale for this zoning.
		Because the metropolitan governments would be larger than current city governments and would be subject to a professional review, it is assumed that the best type of metropolitan government would be a checks-and-balances type government based on separation of powers with a strong mayor as executive, a council as a legislature, and a metropolitan judiciary.
		Regardless of how the metropolitan governments were organized, they would be very concerned about the efficiency of their services.

	Brookings: Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy: Speeches & Presentations: 97 NIF: Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		He argued that similar patterns of metropolitan growth and development -- "explosive sprawl where farmland and open space once reigned matched by decline and abandonment in the central cities and older suburbs" -- are driving the creation of new and diverse political coalitions nationwide.
		He urged the federal government to follow Maryland's lead, by reauthorizing existing federal incentives for metropolitan transportation planning, and by giving local and state governments the flexibility to use federal funds for neighborhood reinvestment.
		Some of the successful proposals came from existing metropolitan social service or housing organizations, whether nonprofit or government, but many simply devised what Turner called "sensible ways of combining the existing hodgepodge of resources and organizations." She admitted that a regional approach was sometimes hard to sell.

	ICLEI Global: Seoul Metropolitan Government, Republic of Korea - Creating World Cup Park on Nanjido Island

	Metropolitan Government
		The first reason our system of local government stays the way it is, it seems to me, is because suburbs in Upstate New York have a vested interest in the deterioration of the city.
		A second reason we are reluctant to change our current local government structure -- even in the face of evidence that other ways may serve us better -- has to with demographics.
