A professional expert advisory i.e. the one preceded by interdisciplinary research activities, must be specialized. It is impossible to reliably fulfill the chosen mission without a narrow specialization. The Metropolitan Institute – as indicated by its name – focuses in its activities on the problems of major cities and conurbations.

Such defined program consists of a number of issues. Among them we can mention e.g.:

– organization and functioning of the metropolis and local government units; operation and co-operation between metropolis and local government units; organization and operation of auxiliary units of the municipality;

– participation of inhabitants and their organizations in the decision-making processes; social participation; non-governmental organizations; advisory committees,

– area development and planning; aestheticization of public space; revitalization of the area; rehabilitation of buildings,

– protection of cultural heritage and monuments; protection of the environment and nature.

However, aforementioned list is not an exhaustive one.
