Abstract

Metropolitan cities are the drivers of the economy. Some of these metropolitan cities have merged into mega cities. As these are centers of attraction it is pertinent to govern these centers so as to harness their full potential. There is no clear guideline or precedence of governing the mega cities in the country. Through this research attempt has been made to understand the structure, governance systems and the issues of the mega cities. The largest city centers that have been existing and experimented in governance are the metropolitan cities and regions. Metropolitan governance in India is polycentric and fragmented system with limited coordination. This research discusses the governance systems of the metropolitan cities and their issues as well to create a comparison with those of the mega city. It has been put forth that the existing governance system is suboptimal and requires a research and discussions as a way forward for the newly emerging mega cities. Some suggestions have been made to improve the governance of these mega cities.
