Union of Municipalities of Türkiye

The Union of Municipalities of Turkey (TBB) was established in 1945 as a public interest association to operate in the field of municipalism and continued its municipal activities for 57 years as an association in order to protect the rights and interests of municipalities under one roof. The Union of Municipalities of Turkey gained the status of union of local administrations with the decision of the Council of Ministers dated 21 August 2002 in order to gather all municipalities in Turkey under one roof. In addition to the support we provide to our municipalities in various fields, we are in close relations with organizations and initiatives such as the Congress on Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe. In this context, we support our municipalities as the national coordinating authority for the implementation of ELDW activities.
