For example, the mayor of Vejle controls all the structures, there is the principle of “one window”, all the structures of the city are in one place, so the work is easier and more efficient.

The seminar entitled “The peculiarities of Municipal authorities in Denmark” was in an interactive and engaging atmosphere, and various issues were discussed.
