IAU île-de-France (IAU îdF) was established as a public interest organization on 2 August 1960. Since 1982, it has become an associated
body of the Regional Council, as part of the strategy of decentralization.
IAU îdF has been in charge to oversee planning and development policies for all sectors, to identify key challenges at all levels, from local to
regional, and to explore the potential of future developments.
IAU îdF has been exporting its expertise worldwide for more than forty
years. Its experts have undertaken more than 350 international assignments within the Mediterranean area, in Africa, Latin America, in the
Middle East and in Asia.
Metropolis, World Association of the Major Metropolises, is the leading international organization that gathers cities and metropolitan
regions with more than a million inhabitants.
Created in 1985, the Metropolis Association is represented by more
than 120 members from across the world and operates as an international forum for exploring issues and concerns common to all big cities
and metropolitan regions. Metropolis also manages the Metropolitan
Section of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG).
Metropolis has had the mission of accompanying cities in mutual learning, innovation, governance, technical and financial assistance, international presence and debate.
Mr Jean-Paul Huchon, President of the Ile-de-France Regional Council,
is the president of Metropolis.
Metropolis International Training Institute (MITI) is the training and
learning center of Metropolis established in 1996. Its primary mission is
to strengthen through training the institutional and professional capacities of local and metropolitan authorities in order to better ensure public
governance.
Located in Seoul since 2012, the Metropolis association currently includes four regional centers: Cairo, Mashhad, Mexico City and Paris
(Île-de-France). These centers organize every year various sessions
designed to all Metropolis member cities and its institutional partners
with the aim at developing the exchange of skills and experience in
order to foster reflections on urban spaces.
