World Metropolitan Day 2022

The theme for World Metropolitan Day was ‘Crossing Boundaries,’ hosted in Bogotá. Crossing boundaries is the essence of metropolitan governance: collaborating across boundaries to best serve people.

The impact of global mega-trends goes beyond borders – whether it be deepening poverty and inequality, inflation, lack of access to affordable housing, or inadequate support in our care systems.

On 7 October 2022, communities and authorities of metropolitan cities across the world reaffirmed their commitment to crossing boundaries and bridging the gaps.
