The Voice of Medium-Sized Cities in Europe

Eurotowns is the network of medium-sized European cities — those between 50,000 and 250,000 inhabitants. Founded in 1991, we represent a unique tier of urban governance that is close to citizens while operating at European scale.

Our member cities share challenges and opportunities that are distinct from major metropolises. Through Eurotowns, they collaborate, exchange best practices, and influence EU policy together.

We provide a platform for city leaders, administrators, and practitioners to connect across borders. From housing and mobility to digital transformation and climate resilience, our thematic work groups tackle the most pressing urban challenges of our time.

With 16 member cities across 8 EU member states, Eurotowns is a compact but powerful network — agile enough to act, connected enough to matter.

Big enough to cope, small enough to care — that is the Eurotowns advantage.
