The Glocal Forum is an international organization in the field of city-to-city cooperation; encouraging peace building and international development in the non-governmental sector. It emphasizes the central role of cities in international relations and subscribes to a glocalization vision.
The Glocal Forum was created in 2001 to emphasize the role of local authorities in the world governance system.[1][2] 25 cities attended the first meeting in Rome in 2002.[3] The Glocal Forum focuses on empowering local communities by linking them to one another and to global resources, in order to achieve social improvement, democratic growth, peace and a balance between global opportunities and local realities.[1][4]
In 2007, the Global Forum had over 100 member cities, including all cities that had more than 500,000 residents.[4] The Global Forum is based in Rome.[5][6]
