Abstract
A general method of constructing canonical gauge-invariant actions is used to establish the equivalence between 2-D induced gravity and a WZ NW system, defined by a difference of two simple WZNW actions for the SL(2,R) group. The diffeomorphism invariance of the induced gravity is generated by the SL(2,R) Kac-Moody structure of the WZNW system.
