![]() ![]() The metropolitan management tools, techniques, and policies (spatial planning and management) need to be retrofitted in order for metropolitan cities to become more innovative, planned, sustainable, and equitable in the future. For almost the last two decades, existing metropolises and megacities in the global south have gone through the neoliberal market-driven local-global interface in metropolitan transformation. This chapter highlights that the majority of the metropolises and megacities, particularly in the global south, are in crisis stage, and rejuvenating them will be the biggest challenge in the years to come.

In turn, we also work with policy, practice and school leaders to develop strategies to ensure that GenX leaders are recruited, developed and retained in our education systems. ![]() We continue to work with new cities, including the Global City Region of Santiago/Valparaiso in Chile, to learn more about how this new generation of leaders will influence our education systems. It was an incredible journey that uncovered interesting and surprising things about this new generation of leaders. We have worked with Advisory Groups of policy and practice leaders across each city and over 130 GenX leaders have joined our project. In 2011, we embarked on a 4 year journey to explore how Generation X (under 40 year old) school leaders in London, New York City and Toronto were experiencing and shaping their careers, leadership, lives and futures. Welcome to our newly relaunched website with evidence and resources from our Global City Leaders study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council in the UK. ![]()
