For the first time in histroy, the concept of metropolis was used in ancient Greece with the combination of the words of metropol (main) and police (city), in modern time in Europe it was used for the cities such as London, Paris and Rome which are rapidly growing due to immigration and industrialization. The new Republic of Turkey have formed the basis of the polity as centralism with the influence of France. In the early years of the Republic, since the urban population was low and a large proportion of the population lived in the rural area, Village Law No. 442 issued in 1924 was considered sufficient. From 1960's, with the development of life and employment opportunities in the cities, the immigration to the city accelerated and the population of the cities increased. In this period, it has been thought that the city municipalities should be governed by a new management mentality and legal infrastructure, successively in 1930 the Municipal Law No. 1580, in 2004 Law No. 5216 the Metropolitan Municipality, in 2005 Law No. 5302 provincial special administration and Law No.5393 Municipality Law and finally in 2012 Law no. 6360 issued under the law on amendment of resolutions in certain statutory provisions has been enacted. Law No. 6360 has redesigned the municipalities about the issues such as; the mission, authority and responsibility sharing between the metropolitan and district municipalities, urban and rural area management, zoning and planning, personnel system, commercial enterprises and subsidiaries of the municipalities. With the Law No. 6360, 30 cities have become metropolitan. Before the 2019 local elections, the conditions of being a metropolitan have been rearranged and it is planned that of 51 provinces will be whole-city with the administrative model called "whole- city". Within the scope of the work, a discussion is held on the future of the "whole-city governance" model that have been impelemented since 2012 and has been criticized sometimes especially the practitioner mayors, and considered necessary to be reorganized besides positive opinions. In study; by conducting the related literature search, besides legal regulations, current opinions and proposals of legislators and practitioners have been mentioned.
