Stowarzyszenie Metropolia Poznań

Stowarzyszenie Metropolia Poznań (Metropolia Poznań Association) is an association of municipalities in Poland, based in the Poznań metropolitan area. It functions as a cooperation platform for local governments in the region, coordinating integrated territorial investments (Zintegrowane Inwestycje Terytorialne, ZIT) and other metropolitan-scale projects. According to its official website, the association's activities cover a wide range of areas including transport, environment, economy, society, and integrated management. It is particularly known for the Poznań Metropolitan Railway (Poznańska Kolej Metropolitalna), a rail project connecting nearly two million residents of Wielkopolska, and for its role as the ZIT Union in the current EU financial perspective. The association also operates a metropolitan air quality monitoring network (Metropolitalna Sieć Antysmogowa) with over 200 sensors, a public consultation portal, and educational projects such as MOBILNOŚĆ and KLIMAT. Its work is funded through EU cohesion policy instruments and contributions from member municipalities. The association does not sell commercial products; its "offerings" are public services and coordination activities for the benefit of the metropolitan community.
