Metropolis is a global network of major cities and metropolitan areas. Founded in 1985, it serves as a hub and platform for metropolises to connect, share experiences, and advocate for metropolitan interests on a global scale. The organization brings together the governments of over 150 urban agglomerations worldwide, aiming to foster the performance of metropolises in addressing local and global challenges. Metropolis focuses on promoting participatory and effective metropolitan governance that fosters economic development, sustainability, social cohesion, gender equality, and quality of life. The network includes over 608 million people and 1300 political leaders and urban practitioners. It operates through a General Assembly, Board of Directors, Regional Offices, and a General Secretariat headed by a Secretary General. The organization's mission is to raise the voices of metropolises to the global agenda, addressing the needs of metropolitan areas that will house 2.6 billion people by 2030. Metropolis provides a platform for its members to share solutions that go beyond municipal borders, emphasizing the importance of metropolitan governance in tackling global challenges.
