Abstract

M1. Eugene Flipse, M.D. TODAY within the United States there is perhaps no greater challenge or greater opportunity for official health agencies than those already created or being created by the urbanization and metropolitanization of our nation. The economic. social, and physical grouping and interdependency of people without regard for municipal, county, state, or even national boundaries has been outlined by the previous speakers of this session. Societv-oriented administrators are all too familar with the "metropolitan problems" the friction caused by multiple local governments, the lack of area-wide planning. the creeping decay of the central city and the unchecked sprawl of the suburbs, and the depletion of financial resources. Regardless of one's personal philosophy of life or of government y-ou know that the approach to metropolitan administration is through coordination-either by unification and centralization or by nearly absolute voluntary cooperation, which, in itself, is a contradiction of terms. In all fields, including health, the necessary leadership for planning and coordination must be either voluntary, through the mechanism of citizen committees or councils, or official, through MARCH, 19963 some arm of government. Today the trend seems to be toward greater and greater governmental responsibility and authority for all public
