Question

describe with an example how local bodies can be useful for people in cities​

Answer 1

Answer

there is three possible answers to this question[i guess]:

First, small cities can focus on the brand that matters to their residents. This is a better approach rather than trying to be all things to all people. It allows cities to focus on the things that matter to people and save money on other operations, which will relieve the financial pressure most cities face. For many cities, this will mean maintaining brand-name police and fire services while consolidating other, less visible operations with other cities, their county, or regional entities.

Second, cities must focus on improving voter turnout and, especially in larger cities, find a way to create a more responsive set of elected officials. Turnout is low in many small cities – including Bell and Ferguson – in large part because elections are held off-cycle, usually in the spring of odd years. A forthcoming report from the Kinder Institute’s Center for Local Elections in America Project, focusing on the turnout problem in California, concludes that the single most significant factor in local turnout is the timing of local elections. Simply switching to on-cycle elections can vastly increase turnout.

Third, many of these problems could be solved by simply increasing the size of the legislative bodies. Many larger cities function with outmoded small legislative bodies that impede responsiveness due to large districts. The public sometimes expressed disdain for politicians and opposes the idea of having more of them. And lobbyists prefer to have as few legislators as possible. But there’s another way.
