Representatives (Mayor or Governor) from member cities gathered to convene a plenary meeting once a year. The meeting agenda included decisions on important administrative matters, reports on the progress and outcome of joint projects, discussions on member city policies, reports on matters of special consideration, and the adoption of a joint declaration. In addition to the plenary meeting, working-level officials also convened to hold “working-level meetings” to examine practical forms of exchange.
A total of 12 joint projects were promoted to resolve issues common to major cities. In each project, the city that proposed the project served as the “organizing city”, while other cities took part as “participating cities” according to the relevance of the project’s theme. Activities conducted under the projects included holding conferences and seminars, training programs, and international events.
The joint projects for which Tokyo had been serving as the organizing city are now conducted as projects under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (working-level cooperation among multiple cities).
