[edit] Paul Romer
This article is not about Paul Romer's "charter cities" idea, but rather about a rather common type of city incorporation and bylaws. I propose charter city (economics) to be the article for Romer's idea, and a disambig link on this article to link to it. 67.169.32.112 (talk) 00:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Same as incorporated town?
Is this the same as Incorporated town? Gazpacho 07:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] California?
It appears, based on what links here that this is a concept connected to the State of California. Can anyone verify that? All the authors seem to be anonymous. Brian Sayrs 20:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
No, not only California. The concept is the same as the Philippines' chartered cities. Charter city is not quite the same as incorporated town. The term should not be merged. Jordz 08:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
--- No, I don't think it's the same as an incorporated town. A charter city appoints a city manager to run things day to day, and the mayor and council really become political figureheads. in a general law city, there is no city manager, and the council runs day to day business. Charter cities have a lot more leeway - they can basically set the charter themselves as they go along, rather than having to follow state law.

[edit] Is any Different between "Charter City" and "Statutory City"?
Hi, I'm from the Czech republic. Is there any different between "Charter City" and "Statutory City"? --KirkEN 10:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] rewrite to move away from California-centric view
I did a rewrite of the article to remove the assumption that this is only in California. However, I live in California so I don't have good examples from elsewhere. A Google search for "charter city" did find other references outside California. For now I'm going to call this a good start. Ikluft (talk) 18:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
