Live the City, the 2015 Metropolis Annual Meeting in Buenos Aires
Between next May 18 and 21, Live the City will be the first Metropolis Annual Meeting where on-the-ground experiences will be the focus and starting point for discussions about the major cities we want for the future.
Lately Buenos Aires has been facing a comprehensive development process, becoming a green, inclusive and innovative city, where citizen participation is an essential factor in local management. In 2015, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires wishes to share its experience particularly with METROPOLIS members and stakeholders.
