The ‘Cities of the Isles’ (COTI) Partnership is a small network of six UK and Irish City Councils (Belfast, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool). These cities have agreed to come together to share urban regeneration experiences, develop joint projects and establish a co-ordinated approach to issues of strategic importance.

All six cities face the same regeneration challenges and present similar types of opportunities. The COTI Partnership gives all the participating cities the chance to see how regeneration efforts are progressing in other parts of the UK and Ireland and the opportunity to explore issues of common importance.
