On 28 January 1951, in the aftermath of the Second World War, visionary European mayors gathered in Geneva with a shared conviction: that rebuilding Europe would begin in its towns, cities and regions. Their commitment gave birth to the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR), the first transnational organisation in Europe, and in the world, bringing together mayors and local leaders around a common vision of peace, democracy and European cooperation. Seventy-five years later, that vision remains as important as ever.
