Information

In 1977, the cities of Barcelona and Monterrey were twinned, a fact that would lead to different ratifications of collaboration agreements, above all to deal with topics of urban planning.

As a result of this relation, the city of Monterrey was chosen to host and organise the second edition of the Forum of Cultures in 2007, taking on from the experience of Barcelona in 2004.

Monterrey is member of the CIDEU (Latin American Centre for Strategic Urban Development).
