It consists of the neighbouring municipalities of Uden and Veghel with the surrounding municipalities of Schijndel, Sint-Oedenrode, Bernheze, Landerd and Boekel.

The province of North Brabant established the partnership in 2002 for spatial planning purposes, and stated that the municipalities of Uden and Veghel are complementary to each other.
