Mapping International Cooperation between European Cities: A Network Analysis of the Interreg C and Urbact Programs

This paper focuses on international cooperation between European cities. We analyse the Urbact and Interreg C cooperation programs from 2000 to 2019, extracting data from the website “keep.eu” which collates European cooperation programs financed by the European cohesion policy. On one hand, we tran...
