Politecnico di Milano and UN-Habitat for fairer and more sustainable cities

MSlab (Research Unit of Politecnico di Milano Department of Architecture and Urban Studies) is a collaboration towards the development and experimentation of metropolitan cartography to support decision-making and management processes Metropolis is a complex element made up of interconnected systems. UN-Habitat intends it as a network of cities and their peri-urban and rural neighbourhoods. MSlab (Research Unit of Politecnico di Milano Department of Architecture and Urban Studies) deals with the dynamics of metropolisation, capable of impacting the territorial, urban and local dimensions. Recently, Politecnico together with UN-Habitat and other organizations has started a partnership to develop a new discipline at a global level, involving theory, practice and research on metropolises and their role for sustainable development.
