Every city faces unique challenges, but no city should have to face them alone. At Eurotowns, we believe that a success story in one corner of Europe can become a blueprint for another. By turning local innovations into shared expertise, we help our members move faster, work smarter, and implement proven solutions that have already stood the test of reality.
Inspiring local solutions for Europe’s cities.
The Eurotowns Secretariat drafts policy papers on priority themes, which are then reviewed and approved by the Executive Council. These papers articulate the shared positions of member cities and serve as the foundation for engagement with EU institutions and stakeholders. During our annual General Assembly, the Strategic Policy Group defines advocacy priorities for the coming year. This group provides a forum for political discussions among the political representatives of our member cities.
The outcomes of this advocacy work are presented in Brussels once a year, providing Eurotowns with a direct channel to European decision-makers. In parallel, Eurotowns contributes to EU urban policy through active participation in the Directorate-General for Urban Mobility (DGUM) and related policy processes. The President and Secretariat prepare input and represent the network’s positions, ensuring that members’ perspectives are reflected at the European level.
