Abstract
As the resolution of urban problems is scaled up to the regional level, understanding the different approaches to regional governance is becoming increasingly important. We define regional governance as constituted by: a vertical relationship between state government and its constituent local governments; and a set of horizontal relationships between local governments, with their respective civic sectors and with their regional institutions. Four highly fragmented regions (Boston, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis) were found to have three different structures of regional governance. We have classified those structures as fully integrated, state centric, and mixed model. As taxonomists, it is our intention to advance the analytics of the field in a way that allows for more rigorous research at the macro level to complement the research at the micro level.
