About the EU Cities Gateway Program

The EU Cities Gateway is a European Union-funded program (2025–2029) connecting cities and regions in the European Union, the United States, and Canada. Building on the achievements of the International Urban and Regional Cooperation program,

EU Cities Gateway fosters practical cooperation, peer learning, and joint innovation in four thematic clusters:
1) Circular Economy,
2) Nature-Based Solutions,
3) Digitalization & Urban Innovation, and
4) Affordable/Attainable Housing and Innovative Living Spaces.

Through thematic networks, study visits, and collaborative action, the program addresses shared urban challenges and strengthens transatlantic ties between local and regional governments, civil society, academia, and the private sector to develop joint solutions.



Connecting cities and regions across the Atlantic to address shared urban challenges.”
