Our work
Metropolis champions the integration of gender equality in urban and metropolitan policies and advocates for the inclusion of gender equality in global agendas. We want to build thriving, equitable metropolises where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
Fostering local care systems is central to this ambition. By addressing the care imbalance, cities can reduce poverty and inequality—ensuring a better quality of life for everyone.
The four pillars of Metropolis’ transformative care agenda
Advocacy
Through the Metropolis Care Campaign, we amplify the voices of member cities and mobilise support for the care agenda
Knowledge sharing
Explore our Local Care Systems Toolkit to learn how cities can recognize, reduce and redistribute unpaid care work and reward and represent care workers.
Exchange
Metropolis’ Solutions Labs bring together diverse local and metropolitan governments around a common challenge to share solutions.
Resourcing
Our International Fund for Metropolises: Local Care Systems awards grants of up to €100,000 to support local governments foster caring cities.
