Greek term or phrase: μητροπολιτικού χαρακτήρα
Πολιτισμός - Τουρισμός

Προβλέπονται οι ακόλουθες ενδεικτικές παρεμβάσεις :

- Προστασία και διατήρηση της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς

- Υποδομές πολιτισμού **μητροπολιτικού χαρακτήρα**

- Ανάπτυξη συνεκτικών πολιτιστικών υποδομών

The phrase "of a metropolitan character" is not unknown in English, but sounds rather strange here.

Does "μητροπολιτικού χαρακτήρα" mean something like "on a city-wide scale"/ "of city-wide importance"?

Asker: This document is about Attica, so I assume that it's mainly Athens they have in mind here.
