Abstract

In this paper the goals that can be pursued by a senior government that is considering proposals for changing the size of local jurisdictions are examined. The process of change and the options the senior government may consider when facing conflicts raised by municipal incorporation, annexation, or amalgamation proposals are considered. This paper is about Canadian cities, but the discussion is based on literature drawing on insights and experience gained in Europe, the United States, and Australia as well as in Canada.
