Abstract: Metropolitan organization must now recognize unprecedented prob lems of dynamics and scale. Both have their effect on management, costs, and "democratics." In designing governmental changes to give us the required comprehensiveness and regional self-government we are controlled by eight objectives. Where existing government falls short of these goals, we must turn to political inventions. Four are suggested: The creation in each state of a new department of local affairs with a "metropolitan desk"; the drastic reconstruction of metropolitan counties; the creation of open-ended metropolitan service agencies; and the creation of an entirely new layer of regional government, the metropolitan council.
