Copenhagen - Municipality system

The local government of the municipality of Copenhagen consists of a governing body, called the City Council, and an administrative branch.

The City Council is made up of seven committees: the Finance Committee and six standing committees, each of which has its own specialised field of responsibility.

The Finance Committee is the overarching committee, which coordinates and plans the total management of the City of Copenhagen. It comprises the chairmen of each of the standing committees plus six other members of the Council. The Finance Committee is chaired by the Lord Mayor.
