Metropolitan spaces are where a growing number of the world’s people live, work and care for each other – hubs of culture and innovation that generate over 80% of the world’s economic output (UN-Habitat, 2020). They’re also where the world’s biggest challenges, such as urban growth, social segregation and climate emergency, are most deeply felt.
World Metropolitan Day is a global campaign led by Metropolis and UN-Habitat promoting collective action to build more equitable and prosperous metropolises. This year’s theme is Crossing Boundaries.
