The Local Government Boundary Problem in Metropolitan Areas

Abstract

4, at 283, 285. 6. PEIRE, supra note 3, at 81. Contemporary metropolitan regions are far larger than the metropolitan cities of the start of this century. As Robert Fishman points out: "Where the leading metropolises of the early 20th century-New York, London, or Berlin-covered perhaps 100 square miles, the new city [or the metropolitan region] routinely encompasses two to three thousand square miles. Within such 'urban regions,' each element is correspondingly enlarged." Robert Fishman,

“…In the past, full access to specific service options has been bounded within pre-designed zones invoking the classic argument of voting-with-one's-feet, whereas current open marketplaces could allow customers with free will to choose any service option across areas without geographic restrictions or interferences (Chubb & Moe, 1990;Tiebout, 1956). Nevertheless, previous research consistently demonstrates that choice can only work properly under the circumstance where users have access to markets within their adjacent neighborhoods (Briffault, 1996;Le Grand, 2007;Levett, 2003;Nechyba, 2010). Particularly taking into account most beneficiaries who are less likely to travel farther away to shop for public healthcare and education (Field & Briggs, 2001;Hastings, Kane, & Staiger, 2005;Neutens, 2015;Roghmann & Zastowny, 1979), a geographical imbalance between supply and demand may give rise to the lack of competition and the declining quality of services in public service markets (Brekke, Siciliani, & Straume, 2011;Kain, 1992;Van Slyke, 2003).…”

Exploring Boundaries in Governance: Intergovernmental Boundary Agreements

“…Advocates of the multitiered approach stress that neither the small size of existing local governments nor their sheer numbers in metropolitan areas are inconsistent with regional well-being. Rather, these metropolitan governments are necessary as the only politically realistic means of ensuring that the impacts of government decisions in metropolitan areas are coterminous with their political boundaries (Briffault 1996). As the legal commentator Richard Briffault (2000, 1) notes, "Regionalism is localism for metropolitan areas.…”
