Uenose and Yokodashi in English?

I'm reading a book on basic things of Japanese politics. In the section about decentralization (’n•ϋ•ͺŒ ), I came across this concept called Uenose Yokodashi Kisei uγζ‚Ή‰‘o‚΅‹K§vwhich I don't really understand. Could someone please explain what it is and is there any equivalence in English?

Thank you in advance!

no Eng words.

[Uwa(not Ue-)]nose means more strictly controll as PF/City ordinance than nation law.

[Yoko]dashi means add original regulation menu as PF/City ordinance.
(original nation law not covered menu)

Thank you Cst, that's really helpful!
