The great city of Edinburgh has joined Core Cities UK. It has become our 12th member city, our third national capital, and expands our UK-wide reach as we prepare to celebrate our 30th birthday later this year.

Edinburgh joins Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield to become a member of an organisation that has a 30-year track record of implementing policy change across the UK.
