Città metropolitana di Milano

What Città metropolitana di Milano does

Città metropolitana di Milano is a statutory public administration entity governing the Milan metropolitan area, established in 2014 under Italian Law 56/2014 which reformed provincial authorities into metropolitan cities. It coordinates governance, infrastructure, and public services across 54 municipalities in Lombardy, replacing the former Provincia di Milano. The entity is governed by a Metropolitan Mayor and Metropolitan Council, operating under the jurisdiction of Regione Lombardia with no private ownership structure.

The organization's service architecture is built on a portfolio of 12+ specialized digital platforms supporting distinct administrative functions: MiVedo (institutional video and Council streaming), AscoltaMi (podcast channel), Il Bollettino metropolitano (monthly newsletter), DataLAB (SDG indicators dashboard), Metro Adapt Platform (climate adaptation tools), INLINEA (environmental authorization procedures), O.R.SO. (waste observatory data), WebSIT (territorial information system), IndicaMi DataHub (open data), NBS Explorer (nature-based solutions), and ReMix (urban regeneration portal). It also operates procurement services (Soggetto Aggregatore and Stazione Unica Appaltante) jointly with the Province of Monza e Brianza. Core technology stack uses a YouCo-developed CMS, Web Analytics Italia for traffic monitoring, and a streaming infrastructure.

The entity is funded through national and regional government budget allocations, EU/regional funds (including the PMRR fund exceeding €52 million as of 2026), and municipal contributions. All public services are free at point of use for citizens, with administrative fees only for specific regulatory acts. The Metropolitan City serves five primary segments: citizens, businesses, local institutions, schools, and third sector organizations, communicating through institutional website, social media (Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram), newsletter, video platform, and press office channels.
