Welcome…

ATCM is Europe's largest membership organisation dedicated to helping town and city centres realise their natural roles both as prosperous locations for business and investment, and as focal points for vibrant, inclusive communities. Our members are primarily public private partnerships from across the UK as well as both public and private sector stakeholders.

This website is designed to provide you with a wealth of information on town centre management, ranging from a daily news service, information on events and conferences, policy briefs, case studies, background on ATCM, details of our award winners and Town Centre Management job vacancies. Some areas are available to all, for others you have to be a member – go to Join Us on the menu bar to find out how.

ATCM works with all those interested in promoting the vitality and viability of town and city centres, in the UK and further afield. As a member you get automatic access to the National BIDs Advisory Service (see link to UKBIDs website below for more information); reciprocal membership of the International Downtown Association in Washington DC; and promotional access to the Institute of Place Management (see link to IPM below). Enjoy using the website - where a feature starts with a an ATCM symbol, it indicates more information is available in the members’ section, so please log on.
