The crises arising from the Covid-19 pandemic have accentuated metropolitan challenges and inequalities. For a healthy, sustainable and inclusive recovery, it is necessary to rethink metropolitan spaces to promote opportunities and improvements that mitigate new crises and foster policies, infrastructure, services and solutions that positively impact the lives of citizens. 

In celebration of World Metropolitan Day 2021, the City of Rio de Janeiro and Metropolis invite UN-Habitat Brazil and ICLEI South America to discuss solutions for the areas of environment, urbanism, and mobility, with the aim of building a more supportive and integrated metropolis in the post-Covid-19 scenario.
