Union of Cities THE HANSA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Union of Cities THE HANSA (formerly known as the New Hanseatic League) was founded in the Dutch city of Zwolle in 1980 by representatives of former Hanseatic cities to "revive the common heritage of the Hanseatic era."[1] With almost 200 member cities and municipalities, the Union of Cities THE HANSA is the largest voluntary association of cities in the world.[2] The aim of the multilateral municipal partnership is to continue the cross-border tradition of the Hanseatic League as a contribution to European integration, joint tourism marketing and generally increased cooperation between the member cities.[1][2]
