Thinking about it I think there are a couple options:
1. Complete amalgamation with a distinction between urban and rural planning. (Towns like elmira, new hamburg, breslau and Ayr would be required to meet density requirements to protect farmland).
2. Amalgamate the cities of Kitchener Waterloo and Cambridge, I would include a little bit on Woolwich around breslau and a chunk of North Dumfries in with the new City. Then amalgamate Wellesley with Woolwich and Wilmont with the rest of North Dumfries.
3. Amalgamate Kitchener and Waterloo including Breslau, and the maple grove area of cambridge. Let cambridge become its own city with its own serves. Merge the townships similar to option 2.
4. Kitchener Waterloo merge with all other cities and townships stay the same with regional government staying intact.
5. keep the status quo. It works, I just think a city of 700,000 would have more federal/ provincial pull then a region made up of a couple 150k cities.
