Cities are municipalities with 2,000 inhabitants or more That "cities under 10,000 are not worthy of attention because they usually are not self" one can say that. In German there is the long "Local government" so that every community freely in certain areas of activity in his decision. This is dependent on the size of the community to me is rather unknown. For certain tasks, the responsibility lies not with the municipalities so that you do not act as well.Cooperation is taking place in different areasRegion Hannover - here was the city district merged a few years ago with the surrounding areaAachen region - this has been realized recently the same.

Annahme:Städte sind Kommunen mit 2000 Einwohnern und mehr Dass „Städte unter 10.000 nicht beachtenswert sind, weil sie meistens nicht eigenständig sind“ kann man so nicht sagen. In Deutschlang gibt es die „Kommunale Selbstverwaltung“, so dass jede Kommune in bestimmten Handlungsfeldern frei in seiner Entscheidung ist. Das dies von der Gemeindegröße abhängt ist mir eher nicht bekannt. Für bestimmte Aufgaben liegt die Verantwortung nicht bei den Kommunen, so dass Sie da auch nicht agieren.Kooperationen gibt es in den unterschiedlichsten BereichenRegion Hannover – hier wurde der Stadtkreis vor ein paar Jahren mit dem Umland zusammengeführtRegion Aachen – hier wurde vor kurzem Gleiches realisiert.
