The city of Lyon is fully engaged in this new role of local authorities. The town is already among the top fifteen cities in Europe and intensifying efforts to expand its global reach and also contribute effectively to the development of its partner cities of poor countries.
With great expertise mobilized to develop its own territory, Lyon can put a hand on this expertise to serve in developing cities and their city teams. Becoming an actor in a more balanced world indeed begins by building solidarity links with cities in the south to help them become competent and effective in the management of their development. For cities located in areas of conflict such cooperation can also promote a dialogue of peace.
The global reach and increased Lyon can benefit all the Lyon metropolitan area, allowing the arrival of more tourists by promoting economic exchanges and investment firms, promoting cultural and academic partnerships. The international dimension of economic development became evident with the globalization of trade.
