This programme supports development of capacities for metropolitan management, through training with an emphasis on policy, governance, legislation, and planning at metropolitan scales. It enhances the knowledge of urban leaders, local actors, and public servants to manage metropolitan areas and develop instruments and tools that allow better governance, financing and planning of metropolises. This programme focuses on all target groups in UN-Habitat\u2019s capacity building strategy, namely local, sub-national and national governments, as well as private, academic, community and civil society sectors, aiming contributing the consolidation of a new metropolitan discipline and metropolitan practice in territorial management.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><div class=\"gem-divider \" style=\"margin-top: 25px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;25261&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]The lines of action of the MetroHUB Capacity Development Programme consists of:[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gem-list lazy-loading gem-list-type-checkbox gem-list-color-10\" ><ul>\n<li><b>Line 1.

The urban and metropolitan policy and governance course covers topics such as: institutional solutions, decision-making, collective action, citizen participation, multilevel governance, digital governance, subnational and sectoral policies, among others. The urban and metropolitan legislation course covers: regulatory frameworks enabling territorial management, regulatory compliance with global development agendas, good and effective legislation, the right to the city, and international trends on metropolitan legislation. The urban and metropolitan planning course includes: principles and approaches to territorial planning, planning instruments, trends in metropolitan planning, urban-rural linkages, migration, public health, and urban economy.<\/p>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolis.org\/campaigns\/world-metropolitan-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Metropolitan Day 2020<\/a> UN-Habitat in partnership with the National University of Colombia, presented the post-graduate programme on \u201cSpatial Analysis, Metropolitan Management and Governance.
