Local communities in cities as a subject of control over solving local issues by Alexander A. Larichev

“…The territorial reorganization of the city administration is also not justified ‐ the creation of intracity municipalities, as well as the formation of territorial subdivisions of the citywide administration is often costly and inefficient. At the same time, the population, being both a beneficiary of the solution of local issues, and, theoretically, the main subject of self‐government and a source of legitimation of municipal authority in cities, is excluded from the mechanism of control over the organization of relevant processes.The creation of local communities, in turn, could be an alternative to the proliferation of the apparatus of municipal bureaucracy in cities, providing legal guarantees for the implementation of citizens’  right to self‐government directly in territories of their residence. …”
