What difficulties municipalities have today?

The municipality is a complex organization to manage and govern
In recent years local governments have been expanding the "scope" of its actions and passed to provide a range of basic services to address the issues in their community, more demanding citizens, though most do not have jurisdiction over them. This is how their actions extend to issues such as public safety, local economic development, international diplomacy, education and inclusion of children and youth, neighborhood mediation, the urban renewal, etc..

This situation requires the local government have more complex organizational structures, the more diverse capabilities, more planned and autonomous most reliable resources and response capacity.
The Municipality is an organization with skills shortages

Without work of all these perspectives is the municipality that resist a process of rapprochement with its neighbors in services and activities that improve their quality of life.
The City requires the construction of a draft
