The Edge Cities Network is a voluntary and informal Network without staff or legal basis. The Edge Cities represented in the Edge Cities Network come from several different regions of the European Union. They vary in size, origins and have a different development, but they are all located in proximity to the main capital of their country.
The public sector is currently under pressure from many sides. In order to meet these challenges, it is important to exchange knowledge and experiences, prepare best practices and to collaborate directly among the municipalities – and that is was The Edge Cities Network is all about. The Edge Cities have identified many common economic, social and environmental issues and are all confronting the impact of the global economy. They are seeking to respond to these challenges in different ways, but also recognize that there is a great deal of experience that can be shared and new ideas and methods can be learned from one another.
