Argues that city regions in western liberal democracies will not and cannot be self-governing. This book shows that difficulties in reaching agreements on boundaries fatally limit the capacity of city-regions to be self-governing.Why the growth and flux of city-regions impedes their prospects for increased political autonomy.

"An original, substantive, and significant contribution ... the politics and public finance of local governments are under-researched and this timely book will find a diverse and large audience." Gilbert Stelter, University of Guelph
