Which of the following comes closest to your approach to Edmonton's role in the metropolitan region?
Context:
The Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board, which coordinated growth across the region and had roots back to the 1940s, is no more. In late 2024, the provincial government decided to cut funding. In January, council unanimously passed Mayor Amarjeet Sohi's motion instructing administration to collaborate with other regional municipalities to initiate a "new voluntary regional governance table." Research suggest regional governance helps municipalities, especially to curb costly sprawl, but can create resentment in forcing policies like density targets.
