CEMR works to make sure that every part of Europe, whether it be cities, towns, or rural areas, can grow and thrive together. To do this, we want to strengthen the links between different territories and encourage cooperation instead of competition. Whether it’s about transport, housing, digital access, climate action, or public services, policies should be designed together so that no area is left behind.
City councils, municipalities, and regional authorities play a central role in making this happen. They know their communities best and are closest to people’s daily lives. With the right support and coordination, they can turn European and national goals into real improvements for citizens: better services, good jobs, and sustainable local economies.
CEMR promotes collaboration between local leaders, regional governments, and communities to build strong, fair, and connected territories. By working together and sharing ideas between urban and rural areas, we can create more balanced growth, reduce inequalities, and ensure that everyone, no matter where they live, has access to opportunities and a good quality of life.
