Union of the Baltic Cities (''UBC'') is a voluntary, proactive network mobilizing the shared potential of over 100 member cities for democratic, economic, social, cultural and environmentally sustainable development of the Baltic Sea region. == Origins == The Union of the Baltic Cities was founded in Gdańsk, Poland in September 1991, by 32 cities, with the aim of developing cooperation and exchange between its member cities. Inspired in part by the historic example of the Hanseatic League〔Leif Beck Fallesen, ("Urban Ambassadors" ), ''The WorldPaper'', July 22, 1998 .〕 and supported by the European Union's Interreg programs to stimulate regional cooperation within the EU, it was one of the first formal institutions established to bolster the Baltic as a cohesive region within Europe. The city of Kalmar in Sweden took the initiative in founding the organization, but Gdańsk was chosen as the organization's headquarters to emphasize the desire to break down historic barriers between Western and Eastern Europe.〔Tassilo Herrschel and Peter Newman, ''Governance of Europe's City Regions: Planning, Policy, and Politics'' (Routledge, 2013), ISBN 978-1134661053, p. 111.
