Eurotowns is working to implement the European Lisbon-Gothenborg Strategy, through networking, the exchange of experiences and creating support groups in different thematic areas.

The Territorial Agenda and the Leipzip Charter have enlarged the scope and the perspectives of the Eurotowns Network. Nowadays, cities in Europe face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously. Very evidently, this challenge is likely to have an impact on Urban Quality issues such as housing, economy, culture or social and environmental conditions.

Territorial Agenda 
Leipzip Charter

 Europe’s wealth, innovation potential, creativity and talent is largely located in a range of urban areas that are increasingly well-connected to each other and with the global economy at large - by air, fast rail connections, road and advanced information technology. This leads us to important questions about the potential of urban areas to act as engines of growth. To what extent are urban areas able to play a leading role in the development of their broader regions? This of course depends on a range of economic, social, political, and even historical factors.
