Cities, towns and villages are where people live, work and thrive. Cities are more than simply population centers; they are engines of the national economy and key providers of our most essential services.
To help leaders, policymakers and residents alike better understand the value of local government, NLC created Cities 102. Cities 102 is a continuation of Cities 101, our resource that seeks to explain how municipal government works from a logistical standpoint. Cities 102 goes more in depth in a three-part fact sheet series that breaks down the scale, scope and operations of municipalities in the United States.
