Our Cities
Our member cities are local governments and civil society organizations dedicated to significantly reducing severe forms of violence.
Cities at the Heart
The cities engaged in the Peace in Our Cities network form a collective body of knowledge equipped to reduce urban violence by at least 50 percent before the year 2030.
We are committed to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 16.1: a significant reduction in all forms of violence and related death rates everywhere.
Our member cites are aware of their local dynamics, responsive to their inhabitants, and efficiently implementing ideas that save lives.
