Transatlantic Cities Network
The Transatlantic Cities Network (TCN), an ongoing project founded in September 2008, provides a framework for sustained exchange of information about innovative policies, best practices, and local policy challenges among a diverse network of policymakers, practitioners, and civic leaders who are well-positioned to put new ideas into practice in their home cities.

Member Cities
The TCN currently includes representatives from twenty-three cities in the United States and Europe. Cities are selected to participate in the TCN by the Urban and Regional Policy program in conjunction with an expert Advisory Committee, based on cities’ potential to share innovative policy solutions in certain key policy areas, as well as to benefit from the experiences of other cities in different policy areas.
For each city in the TCN, one representative serves as the key point of contact and organizing force for programming. TCN representatives have been selected for their deep involvement in a variety of urban policy areas, as well as their engagement with key decision makers in a broad spectrum of policy issues in their communities. They have demonstrated significant leadership in their own careers, and have strong personal and professional networks with the capacity to connect innovative ideas and solutions with the individuals who can implement them.
