World Urban Forum is the world’s largest and most important cyclical event dedicated to urban development. The Eleventh Session of the World Urban Forum 11 (WUF11) will take place at the International Congress Centre in Katowice on 26-30 June 2022.
Within the umbrella of the Green City theme, METREX hosted a session on Accelerating on Greening the Metropolitan City.
METREX believes that Metropolitan Regions and Areas are best in place to address the challenges we face. Grounded in realistic and practical solutions, they demonstrate situational leadership on pressing issues that can accelerate the journey to finding tailored solutions.
This event showcased concrete policy instruments, new energies, accessible public spaces, applied circular economy approaches and hands-on tools and urban regeneration.
