France urbaine is the only association of city mayors and urban centers presidents in France. Its 108 members, of all political tendencies and representing some 1,300 cities, gather more than half of France’s population. France urbaine aims to promote the urban fact among public authorities and all citizens. The association takes its part in the structuring of the urban world and the attractivity of our country, within the framework of a permanent dialogue with the French Government. France urbaine is organised into colleges representing the various administrative forms of France’s urban diversity.

Against a backdrop of rapid climate change, France Villes et territoires Durables (“Sustainable City by France” in English) has positioned itself first and foremost as a solutions-oriented « do-tank ». It identifies, capitalises on and disseminates as widely as possible the best tools, methods, solutions and achievements to help local and regional authorities accelerate their sustainable transition and multiply the impact of their projects.

A key player in its own unique ecosystem, France Villes et territoires Durables brings together all the professional stakeholders involved in sustainable cities, in four colleges with balanced governance: leading local authorities and their associations, companies of all sizes (French groups as well as very small businesses), the State (central administration and specialised operators) and city experts (in particular national professional organisations).

Its mission is to accelerate the sustainable and resilient transformation of territories, based on the 4 levers for action – sobriety, resilience, inclusion and creativity – defined in its Manifesto for Sustainable Cities and Territories.
