Town Twinning is a formal agreement between communities in different countries to promote social and cultural bonds or common interests. Twin or Twinned Towns are also known by such terms as Partner(ship) Towns, Friendship Towns and Sister Cities. Whilst many relationships are active and fruitful, some have proved less so, which may be a risk where a partner town takes on multiple commitments, or the relationship is too one-sided.
