Other Documents
UN-Habitat, through its MetroHUB initiative, presents this document on Metropolitan Institutions, with the purpose of offering a guide for the structuring and implementation of institutions at the supra-municipal level, responsible for managing the metropolitan affairs of the territory or managing a sectorial issue with metropolitan impact. It highlights the importance of metropolitan institutions in the effectiveness of territorial management and competitiveness, guides its typology, characteristics, objectives, functions, structure, metropolitan management methodology and recommendations for its implementation.Metropolitan areas are territories with attractiveness for the production of wealth, technological innovation and the offer of urban services that bring about population migration; they are also territories that pose great challenges to governments and citizens, mainly in environmental matters, housing, transportation and basic services. The question then is, who attends to these challenges? Who is dedicated to thinking and planning solutions and, above all, executing solutions to these territorial challenges? Local institutions have their own challenges, and their competence has jurisdictional limits. Metropolitan institutions facilitate territorial management, making the use of resources more efficient through territorial coordination and complementarity, identifying the vision of integrated development, building policies that respond to the intersectionality of problems, articulating the scales of government and executing the projects. The Metropolitan Institutions think, plan and develop the strategy for territorial competitiveness and the improvement of the quality of life of the inhabitants of the metropolis.
