UBC works through commissions, working groups and networking

The backbone of UBC`s practical, goal-oriented work is carried out by the member cities through active cooperation in the thematic UBC Commissions. UBC has 8 working Commissions: Cultural Cities, Inclusive and Healthy Cities, Learning Cities, Planning Cities, Safe Cities, Smart and Prospering Cities, Sustainable Cities, Youthful Cities.


The Commissions share best practices and tools and provide a network of experts for consultation and cooperation. Old and new member cities are encouraged to contact the commissions and join their activities. UBC commissions are encouraged to seek partnerships with other stakeholders and participate actively in implementing regional development strategies, especially the European Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region.
