About Capitals Alliance
A nation’s capital plays a vital role in establishing a
country’s identity. Capital cities function as a major
urban hub while also serving as a nation’s seat of
government and its ceremonial center. Capitals Alliance, an
organization of capital cities worldwide, serves as
an international forum for exchange on the unique symbolic
and
functional role of national capitals.
In 2001, the capital cities of Brasilia, Canberra, Ottawa,
and Washington formed Capitals Alliance to provide a global forum for senior planners and
urban designers in capital cities around the world. Through
Capitals Alliance, planners and public policy
officials exchange ideas and solutions with international
colleagues on the unique challenges facing national
capitals.
The founding partners are proud to engage with leaders of
current and future world-class capital cities. We welcome
you to learn more about Capitals Alliance and we invite you
to join us when we next meet in
Washington, D.C. in
September 2008.
