New partnerships between European cities and cities across the world were formally launched on 10 November in Brussels (Belgium) under the European Union’s International Urban Cooperation (IUC) programme. The one-day event saw more than 120 delegates both from the EU and from China, India, Japan and North and South America.
The event saw presentations from paired cities Chongqing (China) and Mannheim (Germany), Montreal (Canada) and Manchester (United Kingdom), and Yokohama (Japan) and Frankfurt (Germany), providing an insight into the sustainable development actions that will be carried out in these cities through the IUC programme.
