Oberbürgermeister Burkhard Jung

As the mayor of Leipzig and the host of this year’s annual EUROCITIES conference, I look forward to welcoming you in person to the City of Leipzig. Under the theme ‘The power of cities – transforming society’ this year’s conference addresses the most pressing and significant challenges we, as European cities, currently face.

Together, we hope to leave the pandemic behind us and look ahead towards a greener, more digital and more just future for our cities. With the Leipzig Charter, we have set an agenda for the decade ahead, with the aim of establishing integrated and sustainable urban development strategies.

The conference also offers an opportunity to open the debate about the collaboration we need between the different levels of government for a new approach towards a more democratic Europe.

About Leipzig

Leipzig is a city of great history, trade fairs and universities, of rich heritage in music, performing arts and books, but it is citizens who make Leipzig what it is. The city has a strong tradition of activism and citizen involvement – it is not by accident that the Peaceful Revolution in 1989 started here.

With this unique spirit, we invite you to become a citizen of Leipzig for the time of our
EUROCITIES Annual Conference 2021!
