We pursue a targeted regional, national and international strategy for interconnecting and positioning the City of Zurich and we implement it with our partners as part of the City Council’s policy for foreign affairs. The various internal and external policy activities include the sharing of experiences with other cities at home and abroad, the representation of the City of Zurich in national and international networks, the support of the city partnerships and acting as an external contact point. We are committed to promoting the City of Zurich as a city focused on sustainability, and one that also recognises its responsibilities beyond the city boundaries. At the regional level, we are actively involved in the management of the Zurich Metropolitan Area.
