  • Local Government in England: Evolution and Long- Term Trends
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Local government in England: evolution and long- term trends Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 23: 2020 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg John B Parr Bartlett School of Planning University College London London WC1E 6BT United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper traces the history of local government in England (as opposed to the United Kingdom) since the early nineteenth century, and explores five long-term trends in its evolution. These are path dependence; the occurrence of major structural change; the phenomenon of policy reversal; the treatment of urban areas; and resistance to regional government. The author concludes that throughout the period under study, policy towards local government has exhibited a ‘pendulum effect’, with two opposing emphases operating in a sequential, rather than a simultaneous manner. Keywords: County, metropolitan county, unitary authority, combined authority, official region Introduction Over the last 75 years, popular interest and participation in local government in England have waned. One reason for this is the fact that central government has effectively taken control of many local- government responsibilities, either directly or indirectly. This has been accompanied (and to some extent caused) by the dependence of local authorities on central government for an increasingly large proportion of their revenues, England’s being among the highest within developed nations (Copus et al. 2017; Rhodes 1986). More generally, public interest has been diverted to issues such as globalisation, climate change, the Brexit question etc. It is also noteworthy that on those occasions when local- government issues are considered, the concern is typically with the detail of specific cases, rather than the system of public administration at the local level.

  • List of Rural Counties and Designated Eligible Census
    List of Rural Counties And Designated Eligible Census Tracts in Metropolitan Counties Updated Census 2010 The Office of Rural Health Policy uses two methods to determine geographic eligibility for its grant programs. As in prior years, all counties that are not designated as parts of Metropolitan Areas (MAs) by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are considered rural. Any county that is not a part of a Metropolitan Area is considered rural. Counties classified as Micropolitan are non-Metropolitan. The current list of MAs, issued in 2013, and updates are available on the Internet at http://www.census.gov/population/www/metroareas/metrodef.html Due to the fact that entire counties are designated as Metropolitan when, in fact, large parts of many counties may be rural in nature, the Office of Rural Health Policy has sought an alternative method of looking at sub-county sections of these Metropolitan counties that would allow sections to be designated rural. The Goldsmith modification was originally developed and used to identify rural Census tracts in large Metropolitan counties. The Office of Rural Health Policy has funded the development of the Rural Urban Commuting Area Codes (RUCAs) to designate "Rural" areas within MAs. Census tracts with RUCA codes 4 through 10 are considered rural for the purposes of Rural Health grants. While use of the RUCA codes has allowed identification of rural census tracts in Metropolitan counties, among the more than 60,000 tracts in the U.S. there are some that are extremely large and where use of RUCA codes alone fails to account for distance to services and sparse population.

  • Voting Rights, Home Rule, and Metropolitan Governance: the Secession of Staten Island As a Case Study in the Dilemmas of Local Self-Determination
    VOTING RIGHTS, HOME RULE, AND METROPOLITAN GOVERNANCE: THE SECESSION OF STATEN ISLAND AS A CASE STUDY IN THE DILEMMAS OF LOCAL SELF-DETERMINATION Richard Brtffault* On January 1, 1898, amid fanfare and celebration, the city of Greater New York-"the greatest experiment in municipal government the world has ever known" '-was born. The consolidation of the cities, counties, and towns on the New York State side of New York Harbor into one great metropolis was a capstone to one century of rapid eco- nomic and population growth and a fitting harbinger of a new century of urban greatness for the region and, indeed, the nation. Now, with another century mark approaching, there is a distinct possibility that the City of New York, already beset by a host of economic and social ills, may not make it to its own centennial intact. The New York State legislature has authorized the residents of one of the five boroughs2- Staten Island-to initiate a process of secession and incorporation into a separate city of their own.3 The secession of Staten Island has elicited a host of divergent reac- tions, ranging from the hyperbolic to the humorous. The proponents of secession, seeing themselves currently relegated to a "neo-colonial status"4 by an inattentive City government, dot their manifestoes with references to the American Revolution,5 Lithuania,6 the Berlin Wall, * Professor of Law, Columbia University School of Law.

  • The Use of Census Geography and County Typologies in the Construction of Classification Systems for Rural Schools and Districts
    Journal of Research in Rural Education, Fall, 1992, Vol. 8, No.3, pp. 47-68 The Use of Census Geography and County Typologies in the Construction of Classification Systems for Rural Schools and Districts William L. Elder University of Missouri I describe the characteristics of schools and school districts by interrelating NCES data using various Bureau of the Census and ERS county typologies. When rural school districts are defined as those where at least 75% of the students attend a school in a rural locale, then 47% ofthe nation's districts are rural and53% are urban. Rural districts account for 22.3% of all regular public schools, 11.8% of all public school students, and 13.4% of teachers. Most of our22,400 rural schools and 6.6 million rural students are in rural districts, but a sizable fraction are in urban districts as well. Differences in school size are discussed by region and county type. The analysis suggests that rural schools andrural districts are smallbecause theirpopulations are sparse and isolated, which makes the diseconomies of transportation to larger centers greater than the diseconomies of small scale. The prospects for more precise typologies of rural schools are considered in anticipation of forthcoming educational data based on the 1990 census Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding Referencing (TIGER) files, which include levels of geographic detail not previously available for rural areas.
