Information About

English Core Cities Group




The cities have come together to promote their common interests as regional Capital s outside of London . The cities are also motivated by the need to promote their economies, especially against other cities in the European Union . They have no special status under English Local Government law.

The cities in the group are the heads of urban areas that correspond to the largest urban areas in England - see List Of Conurbations In The United Kingdom . The next largest urban areas to be unrepresented in the group are Portsmouth and Leicester .

The eight city councils are also members of the pan-European Eurocities association, of which Birmingham City Council acts as the secretariat.
