About us

MedCities was established in 1991 in Barcelona when 16 cities initially formed a network to support environmental protection from a local perspective. In 2015, the network became a fully independent organization and now brings together 80 local authorities from all shores of the Mediterranean basin. The transformation of MedCities into a legal association has increased its operational capacity and enhanced its ability to promote urban sustainable development in the region.

Mission

Becoming the voice of different Mediterranean cities in order to increase their decisive role in the area. The association impulses a democratic quality and it provides support to MedCities member city councils so they can boost their competencies and resources to advance in the contemporary challenges of urban governance ( reduction of inequality, gender equality, safety, and coexistence…), and give support to local governments on the management of new challenges in urban governance.

Vision

Being a Mediterranean political stakeholder of reference in the supramunicipal and international agenda, acting as a voice for local authorities. MedCities seeks to establish a collaboration space between cities in order to carry out and evaluate urban projects of mutual interest, good practices and knowledge management.

SDGs

MedCities has the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a general framework for all its projects. It integrates 17 Sustainable Development Goals -adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015- . The association localizes them in all its interventions as they are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership. Get to know more: https://sdgs.un.org/goals
