governance. The strategy sets out clear objectives regarding both structural and thematic elements that are essential for effective cooperation and governance. These include:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>establishing a clear long-term vision and strategic goals,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>definition of the metropolitan area,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the creation and strengthening of metropolitan governance structures,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>incorporating relevant topics into metropolitan policy,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>securing metropolitan funding mechanisms,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>strengthening stakeholder engagement and participatory methods,  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>monitoring and evaluation of the metropolitan strategy. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also presented practical solutions from the project that focus, among other things, on <strong>enhancing mobility, participatory processes, and food cooperation<\/strong> between the city and its hinterland \u2014 a topic <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolitni.brno.cz\/en\/spoluprace\/support-for-local-production\/\">we are addressing within the Brno Metropolitan Area<\/a>. In doing so, we highlighted specific ways to develop cooperation between the city and the surrounding municipalities.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interest in the topic was also confirmed by the seminar itself, which was fully booked. Participants included not only experts from various European countries but also representatives from South Korea, demonstrating that the issue of cooperation across administrative boundaries resonates
