World Metropolitan Day 2020

World Metropolitan Day 2020 focused on how metropolitan areas will respond to the ‘Decade of Action’ remaining to deliver the Global Goals.

Each participant focused its virtual event on one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals, framing them in the emergency context of COVID-19.

More than ever, 2020 showed how metropolitan spaces are complex and fragile at the same time. COVID-19 also raised new questions about whether the world’s metropolises are truly prepared to face emergency scenarios.
