Content
Local government can be defined as a form of public administration or authority determining or executing measures within a restricted area inside a state. The degree of local government or self-government depends on the countries. A set of lessons is based on pointing out these specificities & the evolutions that the local level of government has known since several decades. It is based on literature review.
Another set of lessons is founded on innovative experiences and place-based approaches. Based on a qualitative case study developed by students, it begins with the concrete analysis of the selected real situation and induces general lessons in terms of organization, social system, inclusiveness or livability, as compared with other documented innovative experiences.
