	Municipality of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Direct-controlled municipalities are the highest-level cities in China, with status equal to that of the provinces.
		Geographically and culturally, many of the Chinese municipalities are enclaves in the middle of provinces.
		Current municipalities are: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing of the People's Republic of China and Kaohsiung and Taipei of the Republic of China.

	Political divisions of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Municipalities (直辖市 zhíxiáshì) are large cities that have the same administrative level as provinces.
		Chongqing is an extreme example of this — the rural population of this municipality exceeds its urban population.
		Unlike provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, whose legal basis is provided for in Article 30 of the 1982 Constitution that governs administrative divisions, special administrative regions are provided for in Article 31 in anticipation of the retrocession of Hong Kong and Macau.

		Although provincial authority was generally limited by the Constitution Act to matters of "local" concern, the specific powers granted to the provinces in 1867 are very significant from the point of view of 21st century environmental regulation.
		A provincial government inquiry into the causes of this tragedy identified a number of failures at the level of the provincial Ministry of the Environment as well as at the municipal level, where public utility workers did not properly maintain protection measures in the water safety chain.
		Municipalities will also be given a period in which to decide if they will force a tax sale, which in the past could result in the municipality's becoming the owner and thereby assuming liability for a site.

		Provincial cities (省轄市 or 省管市), sometimes translated provincial municipalities, are cities lesser in rank than direct-controlled municipalities of the Republic of China.

	Provincial and Municipal Restructuring in Canada: Assessing Expectations and Outcomes
		The provincial-municipal restructuring initiatives involved increasing municipal fiscal responsibilities in governance and service delivery through the reduction of provincial grants, the reallocation of governance and service responsibilities between the provinces and local governments, and the encouragement of municipal mergers.
		Municipal consolidations, whether in the form of amalgamations (the merging of two incorporated municipalities) or annexations (the appropriation of a portion of a municipality by an adjacent municipal unit) have been taking place in North America since the 19th century.
		Cost savings from consolidation are generally expected with reductions in municipal staff and elected political officials, reductions in the duplication of public agencies, lower costs associated with purchasing in larger quantities, and cost savings from specialisation and coordination improvements in the larger bureaucracy.

		Even though the province-level municipalities of Taipei City and Kaohsiung City are on the island of Taiwan, they are not administratively part of the Province, and instead are administered directly by the ROC government.
		Municipalities Chiayi County (嘉義縣, pinyin: Jiāyì Xiàn) is a county in southwestern Taiwan encompassing Chiayi City and administered as part of Taiwan Province of the Republic of China.

	COSATU Submission on the Municipal Systems Bill
		Municipalities perform a pivotal service delivery role both in respect of services that local governments have to perform in terms of the Constitution as well as the delegated responsibilities from national and provincial governments.
		Give or take a few big municipalities, as general rule municipalities on their own will not address these backlogs and there is a need for injection of resources from the national fiscus.
		In terms of section 11(3) a municipal council can close any of its meetings "unless the municipality has given at least 14 days public notice of closure of the meeting." However, there is not mechanism to deal with public objections to council’s intentions to close its meetings.

		Some municipalities, without the most minimal financial, economic, revenue or other base do not seem viable – unless drastic measures are taken, not just by the municipalities concerned, but by provincial and national government, the private sector, communities and other stakeholders.

	Legislative Assembly of Ontario. Hansard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This proposal, by motion, was accepted at each of the 11 municipal councils in Ottawa-Carleton: by Cumberland, by Gloucester, by Goulbourn, by Kanata, by Nepean, by Osgoode, by Ottawa, by Rideau, by Rockcliffe Park, by Vanier, by West Carleton and by regional council, and was endorsed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs.
		There is no question that all the municipalities had endorsed having a commission or a commissioner in the event that the panel, or the municipalities themselves and the region, could not come up with a particular set of proposals.
		It happened, in my view, because those municipalities were small enough that they were able to focus on what is important to their communities and to the citizens and to focus on the priorities that are important for their own region.

		The two provinces have been effectively streamlined in administration, leaving the two centrally administered municipalities, five provincial municipalities, and eighteen counties as the principal divisions of the Republic of China.
		Maps of China and the world published in Taiwan sometimes show provincial and national boundaries as they were in 1949, not matching the current administrative structure as decided by the Communist Party of China post-1949 and including outer Mongolia and Tuva as part of China (which the PRC has renounced sovereignty over).
		In the mid-1990s, the provincial government was essentially stripped of almost all of its authority, but it remains a streamlined entity.

		It has been the experience of some municipalities that the reduction in waste requiring disposal may be the result of consumer purchasing habits resulting in the reduction of waste generated, increased reuse, and increased backyard composting activities, as well as increased diversion through the blue box.
		Municipalities need to be aware of their complete waste management costs and make those costs transparent to the consumer.
		Variation B - Without effective Provincial backdrop regulations, and the establishment of a multi stakeholder board to collect and administer the funds, this option will not provide municipalities with adequate assurances of a steady supply of funding, and the means to enforce and monitor agreements.
