Smart, Resilient and livable Asian Cities

Asian Mayors Forum (AMF) as an international nongovernmental organization was founded in Tehran 2008 following the proposal of Tehran Municipality to Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) which was approved in 2007.

The founding meeting and first General Assembly was held in Tehran with the participation of about 90 Asian mayors and urban leaders.

Asian Mayors Forum has chosen its motto as: "Asia for Citizens: Integration for better life" and its main goal is developing cooperation and integrity of Asian cities and citizens.
