MetroHUB Supporting Metropolitan Development

The MetroHUB is an integrated approach for supporting metropolitan areas and systems of cities towards sustainable development. It has evolved over several years, based on prior work and in dialogue with experts from different teams within UN-Habitat, but also in consultation with many global partners. This publication provides relevant background information such as UNHabitat’s mandate on the subject and selected global frameworks. It showcases projects, plans and strategies from different parts of the world. More importantly the publication introduces the MetroHUB “initiative” with its central concept of combining planning, governance, finance and socio-environmental components with capacity development and tangible “acupuncture” projects. Conceptualized with five pillars (“Learn, Share, Disseminate, Develop, and Apply”), the MetroHUB offers a wide range of activities and this paper outlines some of them. This publication is highly relevant for urban experts working on metropolitan development with the expectation of achieving real change through an integrated approach: the MetroHUB.
