This organization of cities aims to promote their integration on a regional scale and stimulate development and cooperation between them. It currently comprises 181 municipalities of the following South American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. History The idea of creating a Mercosur association of cities came up during the seminar "Mercosur: Opportunities and Challenges for Cities" held in March 1995 in Asunción, Paraguay. The mayors who participated in the meeting, which was convened by the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities–Southern Cone Sub-region, signed the so-called Declaration of Asuncion, where they expressed the need to create a forum for cooperation among municipalities. In July 1995, the Porto Alegre Commitment (Brazil) was signed, which defined the main objectives of the new organization. Finally, in November of the same year, she signed the Founding Act of the Mercocities, in Asunción. The founding members were the cities of Asunción, Rosario, La Plata, Cordoba, Buenos Aires, Florianópolis, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Salvador and Montevideo.
