Word for "Town meeting"?


I'm looking for a word for the phrase "Town meeting". The best I can find is
タウンミーティング, but is there a better word I could use? Would 町の会合 work or is that
too literal? Thanks.




Nothing wrong with タウンミーティング, I'd say. There are terms like 寄り合い (also spelled
寄合) if you want to find a somewhat similar government practice in Japan.
However, I wouldn't say that can be a translation per se, because connotations
for the implied period in history, the larger society's socio-economic reality
are vastly different.

町の会合 sounds rather like a description than a name of something.
