The GOLD V Thematic Report on Metropolitan Areas

The fifth report of the Global Observatory on Local Democracy (GOLD V) highlights the involvement of local and regional governments in mechanisms of coordination, monitoring and reporting to create a sense of collective responsibility for the achievement of more equitable, fair and sustainable societies. Providing an up-to-date global mapping of the processes of localization of the global agendas, GOLD V indicates how decentralization and multilevel governance, especially in metropolitan areas, can contribute to these processes. Crossing
the inputs from different regions, the chapter on Metropolitan Areas of GOLD V, released as a stand-alone publication, reflects the collaboration between all the sections of UCLG, and is the result of the strengthened joint work of the teams of the UCLG World Secretariat and of the Metropolis Secretariat General.
