Municipalities of Nepal are urban administrative units that manage local governance and development. They are responsible for providing essential services such as water supply, waste management, and infrastructure maintenance. Municipalities are categorized into two types: Metropolitan Cities and Sub-Metropolitan Cities, which have larger populations and more complex administrative needs, and Municipalities, which serve smaller urban areas. Each municipality is governed by an elected body, including a mayor and ward representatives, ensuring local participation in decision-making. The number of municipalities in Nepal has increased over the years, reflecting the country's urbanization and the need for effective local governance.
