These new institutions, created to focus on issues concerning competition and the citys social cohesion, were given broad competencies while having little means to exercise them efficiently. Moreover, numerous difficulties have been encountered : points of friction with the Boroughs, which have competencies in related areas and, due to insufficient powers and personnel, the mayors dependence on other levels of government
