Study Notes

  • Differences between small and large municipalities

Small Municipalities

  • Smaller population, fewer residents, political decisions can be made faster, focus more on local needs
  • Limited economy, more difficult to finance major projects or offer a wide range of services, can also depend on state contributions
  • Fewer public services: Residents may need to travel further to access certain services, such as a medical center
  • Strong community: Close cooperation between residents and local authorities

Large Municipalities

  • Larger population: Can face more complex needs and challenges
  • Decisions can take longer to make and have more interests to balance
  • Greater economic resources: Can offer a wider range of services, such as sports and social services
  • More developed network of public services with better access to schools, hospitals, public transport etc.
  • Difficult to create community: Because the population is more dispersed, you do not get the same sense of community
