About us
We elevate the collective voice of metropolises on the global stage, foster global cooperation, dialogue and sharing of knowledge and solutions.
Vision, Mission and values
A collaborative and caring association, dedicated to transforming our metropolises towards more sustainable, equal and resilient societies
People of Metropolis
Metropolis’ work is possible thanks to the active participation of representatives of our membership and a committed team that connects the multiple actors interacting with the association
Metropolises operates, as well, as the metropolitan section of the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), since its constitution, in 2004.
