European sustainable cities

The European sustainable cities and towns campaign was launched at the end of the European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns, which took place in Aalborg, Denmark from 24 to 27 May 1994. The objective of the campaign is to promote development towards sustainability at the local level through Local Agenda 21 processes, by strengthening partnership among all actors in the local community as well as inter-authority cooperation, and relating this process to the European Union's action in the field of urban environment, and the work of the Urban Environment Expert Group. The campaign is formed by municipal signatories of the Aalborg Charter as campaign participants.
