Abstract

Metropolitan Israel dominates the country. A triangle along the coast and inland to Jerusalem includes more than 20% of the land and more than 80% of the population, as well as centers of government, economics, and culture. Reformers who preach greater local autonomy overlook the existing convergence of national and local policymaking. An overlapping of national and local policymaking also provides some achievement of yet another policy goal sought by reformers elsewhere: metropolitan integration.
