Metropolis is a member of the Steering Committee. It is dedicated to collecting comparable data and information on territorial organisation and subnational finance from over 130 countries and to support decision-making of national and subnational governments around the world. An international conference will be held on 17 June to present the results of the work begun in 2017.
