As governments come to question the necessity and appropriateness of their direct involvement in numerous facets of society, they are looking for ways to better use the capacities of third parties, particularly universities, for the information required to develop policies, legislation, and programs. This general effort to bring the academic community into the life of government is an essential element of the Metropolis Project.
