Indy merged with it's county, and Columbus never annexed any incorporated suburbs that I am aware of-it mostly annexed undeveloped land that later was developed. Many already developed areas have strongly opposed annexation attempts(like the Lincoln Village area, Blacklick Estates, etc.)and remain township land.

There are so many examples of what lessons Columbus could learn from other cities. The biggest-get a decent public transportation system!-*looks at just about any large metro in the nation to get an example*
