Amalgamation
Halifax Regional Municipality Created in 1995 from cities of Halifax
and Dartmouth, Town of Bedford and Halifax county
Includes entire metro area and more
Regional government
Communauté métroplitaine de Montréal established in 2002
Mayor of Montreal is always the chair Has recently adopted a regional plan Big test will be implementation
A regional government
Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM)
Established in 2002 Takes in the whole metropolitan area Has recently adopted a regional plan Big test will be implementation
Metro Vancouver
A regional government that includes regional special-purpose bodies that continue their legal existence
I am a great admirer of structural arrangements of Metro Vancouver
Voluntary cooperation
Best Canadian example here is Calgary Regional Partnership
Most common model in US, along with regional special-purpose bodies for infrastructure
Calgary expanded territorially by annexation – leads to unbalanced “partnership”
Provincial planning control
Ontario plans for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
The Greenbelt and Places to Grow
