Evidence-Based Design and Liability Risks for Health Care Organizations
Since the 1980s, science about how built environments influence human health has been used by architects, engineers, and designers to inform decisions about health care organizations' structures and spaces. Because design influences health outcomes, ignoring evidence-based design can be a source of clinical, ethical, legal, and organizational liability. This article introduces concepts related to designs' influence on patient and community health…
Fable Hospital 2.0
Evidence shows that changes in the architecture, design, and decor of health care facilities can improve patient care and in the long run reduce expenses. These essays detail the state of the research, look inside two hospitals that put some of these innovations into practice, and consider how design fits into the moral mission ofhealth care
Race and Regionalism
How opportunity is distributed among its component racial groups in a metropolitan region is an important question and is likely to become more so as regions become denser economically and socially. The extent to which governmental structure contributes to racial sorting has been debated since the development of public choice theory. To evaluate how various structural, political, and historical factors affect the relative distribution of opportun…

The Government Centralization‐Decentralization Debate in Metropolitan Areas
The extent of centralized or decentralized government has been an issue in America's governing system since the Revolutionary War. The major issues debated at the Constitutional Convention revolved around the amount of authority the national government should possess in relation to the states. The centralization‐decentralization issue is still a matter of contention, but a major focus of the debate has shifted to the metropolitan area. Despite th…
Developing Regional Regimes
The author relates tenets of urban regime theory to the major elements of new regionalism. He develops a framework of government and private sector structures and factors that facilitate the development of regional governing regimes. He categorizes these structures and elements as high, medium, or low according to the extent to which they facilitate or hinder the development of regional regimes. This framework is used in an analysis of new region…
Exploring the Horizontal and Vertical Dimensions of the Governing of Metropolitan Regions
A metropolitan region does not have formal institutional structures such as nations, states, and cities, but it is a system that can be conceptualized and studied as a whole. The study of metropolitan areas too often ignores the dynamic relationship sat the intersection of state and local governments. This study suggests a two-dimensional typology of governance in metropolitan regions. The authors found that governance affects the long-term compe…
Regimes and Regional Governance
Regime theory has been used extensively in community governance studies. An analysis of the urban regime theory literature and the regional governance literature reveals that urban regime theory can also be useful in the study of regional governance. Both literatures indicate the critical importance of the nongovernmental sector for effective governance. Indeed, because of the usually weak regional political constituency, the private sector often…
Organizing Government Structure and Governance Functions in Metropolitan Areas in Response to Growth and Change
Articles and books have recently appeared on a wide variety of regionalism issues. Some writers have attempted to refocus the discussion of the topic from government to governance, while others have proposed frameworks and models to categorize areas by the extent of their regionalism and explain why some metropolitan areas are more regional than others. Taking into account the government and governance issues and previous efforts at model buildin…
The Continuing Judicial Assault on Patronage
Notwithstanding the opinions of some observers, who felt that the U.S. Supreme Court might back away from its stand opposing patronage (Sylvia, 1994, 13; Boyd, 1992; Daniel, 1992), the Court is not only standing firm but is continuing its assault. Recent Court cases have expanded the prohibitions against the use of patronage. It seems that the Court takes full advantage of the cases it accepts in this area to reaffirm its opposition to patronage.…

Exploratory Research on the Behavior of Members of Elected Local Government Charter Commissions
While much attention has been given to local government reform over the years, the focus has been on campaigns to influence voters and the substantive recommendations made by local government commissions. Relatively little research has been conducted on the charter-writing process.In this paper the findings of an exploratory study on the relationship of charter commission members’ personal goals to their governmental change preferences are presen…
