City hall / town hall
Good evening.
Would you use the words 'city hall' / 'town hall' for the building where the mayor has his/her office and where the municipal assembly gathers, EVEN IF it's about a village of 3,000 inhabitants?
Thank you.

Which country are you asking about? In England, "city hall" would not normally be used for a place so small (there are some anomalous very small "cities" that exist for historical reasons, but they are very much the exception). 3,000 inhabitants seems low even for a "town hall", but it may be possible somewhere if (obviously) the place is considered a "town".

- In the US they use "city" differently, sometimes to refer to small settlements, as I understand it.
