This paper examines different models of
governing structure found in metropolitan areas around the
world. It evaluates how well these models achieve the
coordination of service delivery over the entire
metropolitan area as well as the extent to which they result
in the equitable sharing of costs of services. Based on
theory and case studies from numerous cities in developed
and less developed countries, the paper concludes that there
is no "one size fits all" model of metropolitan
governance. Other observations from the case studies
highlight the importance of the process of implementing a
metropolitan structure, the need to match fiscal resources
with expenditure responsibilities, the need to have a
governance structure that covers the entire economic region,
and the critical importance of having a strong regional
structure that ensures that services are delivered in a
coordinated fashion across municipal boundaries.
