METREX is a network of over 50 European metropolitan regions, promoting collaboration and joint action on metropolitan affairs for resilient and sustainable communities.
METREX (The Network of European Metropolitan Regions and Areas) is a network of over 50 metropolitan regions and areas across Europe. The organization serves as a platform for the exchange of expertise and joint action on metropolitan affairs, contributing the metropolitan dimension to policies, programs, and projects on a European scale. METREX partners with European institutions and is involved in various external EU and European-focused projects. The network aims to accelerate the transition to more resilient, greener, just, and better-connected communities by promoting metropolitan partnerships and rethinking Europe's institutional framework. The goal of METREX is to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among metropolitan regions and areas to address common challenges and develop effective metropolitan strategies. This is achieved through conferences, projects, and publications that foster exchange and joint action on issues such as funding mechanisms, cohesion policies, and circular built environments.
