EUROCITIES is the network of major European cities. We bring together the local governments of more than 140 large cities in over 30 European countries. 

We influence and work with the EU institutions to respond to common issues that impact the day-to-day lives of Europeans.  Our aim is to shape the opinions of stakeholders in Brussels to ultimately shift legislation in a way that helps city governments address the EU's strategic challenges at the local level.  A large part of our work is aimed at reinforcing the role and place that local government should have in a multi-level governance structure.
