1 Networking for Small and Medium Sized Cities
2 The Eurotowns network Established in 1991 (RE joins the network in 1997) towns and cities with populations between 50,000 and 250,000. There are around 20 towns and cities 11 Countries covered by the network MEMBERS: Eskilstuna, Gävle,Girona, Hasselt, Heraklion, Jerez de la Frontera,Jyväskylä,Kavala,Leeuwarden,Manresa, Mikkeli,Mölndal,Reggio Emilia,Sabadell,Schiedam, Sundsvall,Ulm,Varberg,Vigo
3 Mission & Aims To develop a network of vibrant, inclusive and sustainable medium sized European cities acting as catalysts for urban innovation, creativity and renewal To establish and promote a distinctive policy agenda for Europe s small and medium sized cities To create a forum for partnership working and collaboration To organise a programme of activities supporting its policy agenda To facilitate access to funds for network activities
4 The needs to establish links and connections : Affirm strongly that Small and Medium sized cities play significant European economic and social impact. There is the need to ensure that this the voice of small and medium sized cities is spoken and their needs are properly reflected in the development of European legislation. Networking practice at this level allows for the reinforcement of European Cohesion
5 Working for MSC Means finding ways to support cities in implementing the European Lisbon-Gothenborg Strategy. The networks supports the exchange of experiences, the establishment of working groups in different thematic areas. Reference to Territorial Agenda / Leipzip Charter combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development urban Quality
6 Activation, mobilisation and motivation are the keywords. Poverty, social exclusion, crime and loss of talent are the common consequences of a failure to break out of the negative economic cycle associated with deindustrialisation. Hence, the challenge to break out of the cycle is a very urgent one indeed. The big question is how?. Of course, much depends on individual situations but there are also patterns and the experiences of cities. Leipzip Charter Europe s wealth, innovation potential, creativity and talent is largely located in a range of urban areas that are increasingly wellconnected to each other and with the global economy at large - by air, fast rail connections, road and advanced information technology. This leads us to important questions about the potential of urban areas to act as engines of growth. To what extent are urban areas able to play a leading role in the development of their broader regions? This of course depends on a range of economic, social, political, and even historical factors.
7 Why participating to the network networking enables representation of local government in Europe provides a privileged framework for promoting innovation and exchanging experiences at transnational level Provides good basis for the development of long lasting partnerships Supports the partners in the identification of EU programs and joint presentation of EU projects Provides a good basis for constant update and periodic confrontation both at political and operational level.
8 The benefits of networking are: The exchange of experiences and know-how The sharing of offers and demands for partneship The sharing of information of common interest The representation of the concerns of Medium Sized cities and towns within the fiels of European Governments
9 How does Eutotowns work (1) Network main bodies General Assembly: all partners / meets once a year (autumn) The Assembly debates and decides the overall programme of the network and the policy direction for the future, based on recommendations made by the Executive Council. The General Assembly also provides a forum for policy dabate and establishes the basis for the definition of the network s political agenda. Executive council: It is the body competent to follow the work progress and ensure the implementation of all General Assembly decisions. Meets on a trimestral basis checks on the daily management of the network/ controls network priorities, checks on major relevant events/ promotes networking actions/ partnership enlargement.
