"Shaping the Metropolis is a fascinating account of regional governance strategies used in Toronto, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Vancouver, and Portland. Taylor provides the reader with a comprehensive story of local government complexity in both countries, noting essential distinctions between the two. All in all, this is an excellent read for urban scholars. Highly recommended." Choice
