Eurocities, the voice of cities in Europe
Eurocities is the network of major European cities, which brings together the local governments of more than 130 major cities in over 30 countries.
It is considered the main lobby of the municipalities to the EU institutions, to the extent of being the voice of cities in Europe.
The network is present in many policy areas, including economic development, environment, transport and mobility (this chaired by the Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Ángel Cámara), culture, education, employment and social services, etc.
Five Spanish cities are part of the Social Affairs Forum: Barcelona, Madrid, Murcia, Seville and Valencia, which are integrated with 90 other European cities.
