The Metropolitan Governance in Africa: Models of Metropolitan Governance

Based on a pedagogical content designed by Metropolis, this learning program aims to introduce the metropolitan reality and how metropolitan governance with a gender perspective can be the key to face the challenges and threats that surround our metropolises. In addition, the course seeks to present governance models, as well as to emphasise on the importance of the Right to the city in a metropolitan context.

In this first session we analysed the different metropolitan governments models while looking at the situation of Africa. We also explored the elements that characterise metropolitan governance models and the main challenges and strategies to promote a form of metropolitan governance with a gender perspective.
