This document outlines a proposal for a global network of cities called MultiLingualCities that would promote economic development. It involves city governments licensing their city's profile, which would include address listings and contact details in multiple languages. This would allow businesses in one city to reach customers internationally and people traveling abroad to find local businesses in their native language. The proposal describes various marketing features city governments could access, including banners displayed on business listings in other cities to promote their city. It aims to initially include 31 cities across 6-10 countries to establish an international network.
