With more than 290 member cities and local authorities, Strong Cities is an independent, apolitical, global network of cities dedicated to addressing hate, extremism and other threats to social cohesion. 

Launched at the United Nations in 2015, Strong Cities fills a critical gap in efforts that have typically overlooked the important role cities can and must play in addressing these threats. The network provides a unique forum for members to engage, learn and share best practices with each other.
