Activities and Strategy
Current Activities
Eurocities has five key areas that it focusses its work on:[2][3]
- Cities as drivers of quality jobs and sustainable growth
- Inclusive, diverse and creative cities
- Green, free-flowing and healthy cities
- Smarter cities
- Urban innovation and governance in cities
Perspective for the post-2015
Moving to the 21st century, Eurocities has supported the need to strengthen a European urban model, in contrast to sprawling US metropolises and megacities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The former Mayor of Ghent and former president of Eurocities (2016–18), Daniel Termont, declared that "healing Europe’s populist divisions depends on its cities" and their ability to enhance social cohesion and facilitate integration.[4]
The Mayor of Stockholm, current President of EUROCITIES (since November 2018), stated that during her mandate she will focus on providing new tools and services to member cities, so as to ensure that cities can better cooperate with EU institution. A stronger cities' involvement in the EU political debate, she argued, will help EU Institutions regain the trust of the citizens by providing better results.[5]
Membership criteria
Membership of Eurocities is open to any European city with a population of 250,000 or more. Cities within the European Union become full members, and other European cities become associate members. Local authorities of smaller cities, and organisations not eligible to become full or associate members, can become associated partners. Companies and businesses are allowed to become associated business partners.[6]
