International Cities of Peace is an Association of Independent Historical and Intentional Cities of Peace.

As an association, International Cities of Peace can foster, encourage, provide resources and tools, and help network individual communities around the world. We are not a funding organization but can point to funding sources. This association of cities of peace provides an easy, practical, collaborative environment for building the worldwide peace community while respecting the individuality of communities. The following are cities of peace around the world, many closely associated with our organization.
