Bath, through the Mayor's office, belongs to an international non-profit network of heritage cities called the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC). This Organization aims to encourage closer working between cities, and to help cities improve their management methods. For more information on the OWHC see the Quick Guide or the OWHC website.
Through the OWHC, Bath works with a number of cities, particularly those of the North West European Region. This region includes the following cities:
|
· Rauma, Finland |
