Other description
MedCities, together with the Barcelona Metropolitan Area and European Metropolitan Authorities initiative, launched a political debate on the processes of metropolitan management and intermunicipal cooperation that are currently underway in the Mediterranean region.
The conference aimed to discuss lessons learned and propose models and tools to promote metropolitan solutions to urban development challenges faced by Mediterranean cities. To do so, the conference built upon the results of a study undertaken by MedCities, focusing on analysing and understanding how these processes take place and their main barriers and on concluding practical and practitioner-oriented recommendations on how to engage in service pooling initiatives and test metropolitan coordination.
