The article is devoted to the study of conceptual aspects of determining the system of local self-government as an institutional basis for urban development at the level of functioning of a local society (territorial community). It is argued that attracting European experience is an important area of municipal reform, since the comprehensive implementation of the European vector of Ukraine's foreign policy requires the creation of an effective public administration system and the intensification of work in this direction by local state executive authorities and local self-government bodies. ; Стаття присвячена дослідженню концептуальних аспектів визначення системи місцевого самоврядування як інституціональної основи містобудування на рівні функціонування локального соціуму (територіальної громади). Стверджується, що залучення європейського досвіду є важливим напрямом муніципального реформування, оскільки всебічна реалізація європейського вектору зовнішньої політики України потребує створення ефективної системи публічного управління і активізації роботи у цьому напрямі місцевих органів державної виконавчої влади та органів місцевого самоврядування.

The interaction between politicians and officials has been widely discussed, not least because of a number of scandals, which have been seen as proof of a politicization of the role and behavior of officials. This discussion has only been concerned with central government. But local authorities are responsible for much of the welfare state and they have therefore been almost as bureaucratized as the ministries. In fact they have had their share of scandals. Councils do, however, lead a more quiet life – partly because the press shows less interest; partly because of institutional factors. Local authorities are governed by committees and there is a strong culture of consensus. The mayor is elected for four years and cannot be forced from office. Formally the mayor is just a chairman with limited executive responsibilities. In fact, he/she is often the central decision-maker. Officers see themselves primarily as advisers to politicians, less as classic administrators. Although without formal legal status they are in fact perceived as very strong. Backbench councilors, on the other hand, complain of having lost influence.
