i. Rapid and dynamic growth of metropolitan regions
ii. Service needs of dynamic populations and businesses
iii. Transition to a new economy and its business requirements

vii. Investment not enough. Financial resources are finite and national public financeis slow to follow growth. Lack of investment tools

ix. National and sub-national governments guard their own space. Co-ordination
