Görlitz-Zgorzelec
Overview
Cross-border governance
Close cooperation at a local level without any real external impetus
Due to the size and the proximity of the two towns there is no common administrative structure. In addition, receiving little support at a regional or national level, this cross-border cooperation is supported by the Neisse Euroregion within the framework of the Interreg programme.
Internal running of the administrative structure
A Political Committee (the two mayors) provides political support, a Joint Municipal Council discusses the progress made and the outlook of the Cooperation Project, while the Coordination Committee prepares the sessions of the Joint City Council, thanks to the Coordination Committee of the working groups.
The topics dealt with are diverse including notably town planning and housing, economic development, infrastructure, tourism, etc.
