| The focus of this Working Group is on
the effect of the size of local government the issues of public
administration these municipalities are facing, that is, their
organisation and management and the development of policies. This topic
can be divided into three sub-topics. First, a group of large or mega
cities means special problems, both in administration and public
services. Secondly there
are what is called hamlets, the very small municipalities and the
specific issues they face. Thirdly, there are the municipalities such as
the well-researched middle town municipalities with say, 10,000 up to
150,000 inhabitants, positioned in between the big cities (capitals) and
the hamlets. |
