Edinburgh is part of the Global Cities CAN-B initiative.
The movement invites every neighbour, person, colleague and organisation
to work in collaboration so that everyone thrives.

This is a movement of neighbours and colleagues: people who want to collaborate to make good stuff happen

What do we DO:
We get together to spark and support projects that help Edinburgh B more economically fair, inclusive of everyone and environmentally sustainable. Our projects are as diverse as our membership and the issues our city faces

Economically fair

There is enough wealth in Edinburgh to go around, we can work together to create a fairer economy in our city.

Inclusive of everyone

We want an Edinburgh where everyone feels they belong and can shape the city’s future, and we’re working to make sure our movement better reflects the diversity of the people who live here.

Environmentally sustainable

A sustainable Edinburgh has clean air, low-carbon travel, energy-smart buildings, thriving green spaces and local food growing, helping the city stay healthy, liveable and fair for everyone.

about

Already a CANB Member?

Have you got an idea for a collaborative project that you want to raise funds for and deliver?

To unlock the creative potential of Edinburgh’s citizens by supporting collaboration, imagination, and inclusive local action.

A city where everyone has a voice in shaping public life — from parks and pavements to policies and partnerships.

We believe in openness, shared learning, and the power of local insight. EdicanB is about reimagining together — not just what Edinburgh is, but what it can become.

"It is not enough to imagine a better city. We must build it — together."
