The Core Cities Group is an association of England's eight major provincial cities which have come together to promote their common interests as regional capitals outside of London. The cities are also motivated by the need to promote their economies, especially against other cities in the European Union. The membership of the group is Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield. Unlike a core city in Japan however, their status as regional capitals does not confer any special status under English local government law.
