作者通过对英国两个大都市（西米德兰兹和大曼彻斯特）在废除大都市政府10年后的深入案例研究，探讨了没有大都市政府的大都市治理问题。作者讨论了在这些地区废除都政府后是否发生了都政府治理，或者是否发展了任何其他机制来取代都政府治理。尽管这些大都市的地方政府在（英国中央政府）要求的情况下以及在共同方便的问题上相互合作，但作者发现，真正的区域治理并没有产生。如果没有大都市政府的大都市治理不会发生在英国这样的单一制国家，那么在美国也不太可能发生，因为美国的政府分裂程度更高，地方政府的自治权历史上也更强。
The author examines the issue of metropolitan governance without metropolitan government through an in-depth case study of two English conurbations, the West Midlands and Greater Manchester, 10 years after the abolition of their metropolitan governments. The author addresses whether metropolitan governance has occurred since the abolition of the metropolitan governments in these areas or whether any other mechanisms developed that substituted for metropolitan governance. Although the local governments in these conurbations cooperate with one another when they are required (by the British central government) to do so and in matters of joint convenience, the author found that true regional governance did not result. If metropolitan governance without metropolitan governments does not occur in a unitary state such as Great Britain, it is unlikely to occur in the United States, where there is greater governmental fragmentation and historically stronger local government autonomy.
