Description
Abstract Various taxonomic systems have been developed for classifying alternative models of local government in advanced societies. Some of these theoretical typologies include the category 'virtual local government' as part of a larger spectrum of alternative conceptual models of municipal governance. However, with the partial exception of Singapore, and its unique system of local government, no other real-world local government structure has actual operating local authorities approximating the virtual local government model. This paper places virtual local government in the broader context of alternative generic models of local governance, outlines the Allan (2001) virtual model of local governance, and then examines Singaporean town councils in the light of this model.
