This project aims to strengthen town networks by developing their internal co-operation and complementarity. The themes the project covers include (public) transport, with activities such as the development of inter-modal connections, and spatial quality with activities e.g. concerning the strengthening of urban-rural links and green-blue belts. Further themes are economic development strategies and the establishment of new trade links, and regional identity with the development of marketing strategies and promotional activities.

The project is led by the Province of Drenthe in the Netherlands. Nottingham, Derby and Leicester are involved as partners in a three city network led by Derby.
