Abstract
This chapter discusses the development of new institutions for policy-making. Large expenditures are made for the preparation of analyses and recommendations. The intangible institutions and the decision-making processes are also, however, susceptible to observation and analysis. The chapter describes the main features of institutional arrangements in the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota. The Twin Cities region is also, however, beginning to be distinguished by a tendency to rebuild its major systems in ways that do not move first to high-capital solutions. The Twin Cities area has also been through, 1965–1975, a thorough reconstruction of its system of local government organization and finance. The state has assumed responsibility for the process of incorporation and annexation, so that the area under municipal government increases without a net increase in the number of municipal units.
