Capitals Alliance Mission

The founding partners of the Capitals Alliance established the following joint mission in 2005:

Promote the story of the past, present, and future of Alliance capitals and provide a forum for the exchange of information and experiences.

• Ensure that the principles of sustainable development, healthy communities, and smart growth become central to the actions of Capitals Alliance members.


• Focus on the challenges world capitals face related to planning, programming, transportation, security, and social issues so that national capitals can serve as models for communities in their countries and around the world.


• Hold regular meetings in Alliance capitals and maintain regular contact among members. Encourage new capitals to adopt and support the objectives of the network.
