Africa metropolitan report: Tender for participation
Since the launch of the Metropolis Observatory in 2016, the association has been working on the creation of the metropolitan governance narrative trough it’s collection of publications. In addition, Metropolis has been working with LSE-Cities since 2018 to create an open database of metropolitan indicators. This databank will allow us to have information related to the reality of the metropolitan territories analyzed.
At this point, and with the information gathered, Metropolis has decided to go one step further and start creating knowledge based on the results of the analysis. This is put into practice with a new initiative: regional reports of the metropolises. Each year, Metropolis will promote the study, the writing and the publication of a report on the status of the metropolises on a different continent.
We decided to focus on Africa on the first publication, with the aim of analyzing the process of metropolisation in its territory. The dynamics and challenges, through the analysis of the different areas that make up the strategic vision of Metropolis: governance, economic development, social cohesion, gender equality, sustainability and quality of life.
