congress to unite the International Union of Local Authorities and the
World Federation of United Cities into a new organisation called the
United Cities and Local Governments, which is taking place in Paris

The project to unite the two organisations was launched in January
2004, when the existing organisations of local self-government units -
the International Union of Local Authorities and the World Federation
of United Cities and Metropolis merged into a single organisation.
The new organisation, based in Barcelona, is the largest organisation
of cities and local governments in the world with members in more than
100 countries. It protects the interests of all forms of local
administration on the global level and solves issues of vital
importance for the future of cities and their residents.
