Contemporary cities have only two choices, either they develop to keep pace with the changing global scenario or they resist the idea of transformation and stagnant.Guwahati being the hub to many different cultures, communities, races and lifestyles coming together under one roof, it is also the melting pot of opportunities, visions and dreams of all kinds. Festive spirits greatly influence on people’s perception of a city. Festivals boost the process of assimilation, and hence contribute towards rebirth of non mainstream urban identity creating a melting pot of various sub-cultures. There are those who love art, culture, craft, film, music, adventure and ethnicity, and there are those who embody it, are driven by it and who lives by the rules of all these. Metropolis is for them. Within a short span of time, METROPOLIS has become the most common acronym, notifying the festive spirit of the city with the overwhelming participation of people in 2013, 14 and 15. It is popularly known as one of the happiest and largest urban winter festival in the north eastern region. This is eventually the first step towards social responsibility for Metropolis Guwahati. Metropolis is Guwahati’s answer to the entire National and International urban Festivals and the region's showcase of its best creative talents. Artists including musicians, photographers, painters, filmmakers, craftsmen, folk artists, cyclists, bullet riders, ethnic cuisines, tour promoters and many more all "come together" under the same roof to create the urban history of Guwahati. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Metropolis Asia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
