Created in 1988, Municipality Week promotes municipal democracy and governance. It provides an opportunity to highlight municipalities, their role, their work, the people who contribute to it, and the democratic life associated with them. Through the services they provide and the projects they carry out, municipalities are at the heart of residents’ everyday lives.
