Question

Why did British set up the municipal corporation

Answer 1

Under the enterprise meaning of the term, municipal corporations are "organisations with independent corporate status, managed by an executive board appointed primarily by local government officials, and with majority public ownership." Some MOCs rely on revenue from user fees, distinguishing them from agencies and special districts funded through taxation,although this is not always the case.Municipal corporation follows a process of externalization that requires new skills and orientations from the respective local governments, and follow common changes in the institutional landscape of public services. They are argued to be more efficient than bureaucracy but have higher failure rates because of their legal and managerial autonomy.
