Culture

Culture is an engine for positive change contributing to a better quality of life for people. Eurocities members promote and support culture as a means of social change and recognise its role in their urban economic development. This is why Eurocities focuses on priorities such as greener and more inclusive local cultural activities and policies, high quality architecture, the impact of third spaces like libraries, the sustainability and preservation of heritage etc. Eurocities gives cities a voice and advocates for local administrations to have a crucial seat at the decision-making table when it comes to European level policies. Eurocities members’ most recent work includes:

• Eurocities Statement: A more sustainable culture starts in cities
• Eurocities Lille Call to Action
• Measuring the impact of culture
