Eurocities is a network of major European cities, founded in 1986, that brings together the local governments of over 200 large cities in 38 European countries, representing more than 130 million people. The network aims to promote the urban agenda in European policymaking and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and innovative solutions among its member cities. Eurocities works across a wide range of urban policy areas, including sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, environment, climate change, social affairs, and green economic development. The network engages in dialogue with European institutions, such as the European Commission and the European Parliament, to ensure that the interests of cities are effectively addressed. Through various forums, working groups, projects, and events, Eurocities provides a platform for its member cities to share best practices and develop joint policy statements. The network is committed to helping shape the EU agenda and ensuring that municipalities have a seat at the table when decisions are made at the European level. Eurocities participates in numerous EU-funded projects and advocates for direct access to EU funds for cities to achieve common EU objectives, such as climate neutrality and digital transformation. The network's activities are diverse and include advocacy, insights, sharing of best practices, and training to help cities face current and future urban challenges.
