WHO WE ARE

The nature of the Metròpoli Institute is marked by the fact of incorporating it into its governing council, universities and public administrations, a fact that clearly guides its mission and objectives.

The Institute is a public consortium located on the Bellaterra campus of the UAB and attached to the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, which develops urban research, training and knowledge transfer activities, mainly in the area and metropolitan region of Barcelona.

It was born in 1984 as an agreement between the Metropolitan Corporation of Barcelona, the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Navigation of Barcelona. Over the years, the territorial and institutional base of the Institute has expanded. At present, the Consortium is formed by:

All these institutions are integrated into the Governing Council, which is the body in charge of approving the programme of activities and the budget of theMet ròpoli Institute.

It should be noted that, although the Institute is a consortium formed by the agreement between different public entities, there is none that is linked to or dependent on the Metropolis Institute.
