Metropolitan Indicators
Resulting from a pioneering comparative research on 58 metropolitan spaces including 69 Metropolis members, the 38 metropolitan indicators provide new empirical insights, comparable across jurisdictions, about metropolitan realities across the world.
The indicators will refer to six overarching themes: Metropolitan Governance, Economic Development, Social Cohesion, Gender Equality, Sustainability, and Quality of Life. The framework will also adopt a gender perspective, disaggregating data according to this descriptor, as far as possible.
