MedCities is a prominent brand that has been operating since 1991, initially formed by 16 cities with the aim of supporting local environmental protection efforts. Over time, it has blossomed into a fully independent organization that now brings together 73 local authorities from all around the Mediterranean basin. The transformation of MedCities into a legal association has amplified its operational capacity, allowing it to promote sustainable urban development in the region more effectively.

MedCities functions as a collaborative platform that facilitates the execution and evaluation of urban projects, mutual learning, and the sharing of best practices among Mediterranean cities. The brand's projects and initiatives adhere to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, integrating and promoting all 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. MedCities operates through various bodies, including the General Assembly, Board of Directors, Presidency, and General Secretariat, based in Barcelona.

Their team is dedicated to empowering member city councils, enhancing competency and resource development, and addressing contemporary urban challenges such as inequality, gender equality, safety, and coexistence. Membership with MedCities is open to all local administrations from Mediterranean-basin countries, as well as Portugal and Jordan.
