Metro Government refers to a form of local government that combines the administrative functions of a city and its surrounding county into a single entity. This structure aims to streamline services, reduce duplication, and improve efficiency in governance. It often includes various departments that handle public services such as transportation, public safety, and housing. In a Metro Government system, elected officials represent both urban and rural constituents, ensuring that diverse community needs are met. Examples of cities with Metro Government include Nashville, Tennessee and Louisville, Kentucky, where local leaders work together to address regional challenges and promote economic development.
