Metropolis is a global network of the world’s largest cities—providing innovative solutions to the critical challenges facing large metropolitan areas.
Bringing together over 160 member cities and 700 million inhabitants worldwide, Metropolis serves as a global hub where metropolises can connect, share solutions and mobilize on issues related to sustainability, social cohesion, metropolitan governance, future planning and gender equality.
VISION
The world’s big cities offer a high quality of life for their inhabitants—fostering economic development, sustainability, social cohesion and gender equality.
“ The process of metropolisation is reshaping the distinctions between cities, suburbs and rural areas. Metropolisation describes the merging of fragmented urban and peri-urban regions into interconnected systems, challenging traditional notions of the city, place and belonging. This interconnected system necessitates integrated management strategies, embracing the diverse fabric of the metropolis.”
