The Steering the Metropolis project was born out of the preparations for the International Metropolitan Governance Forum that took place in November 2015 in Guadalajara, Mexico. The event brought together over a hundred renowned specialists, and remains a reference for metropolitan discussions worldwide. At the time, many panelists agreed to write a chapter for a joint publication. Those became the first steps for the book project. Though it is not possible to name each of the 64 book authors here, we want to acknowledge the quality of their work and their patience with the editorial processes as a whole.
