The article is to study the organizational and institutional support of strategic planning from the perspective of foreign metropolises opportunities for application of best practice in this field in Ukraine. For this the key approaches, methods and tools for strategic planning of metropolises of Italy (including the Great Milan), Great Britain (including Greater London, Greater Manchester, Greater Birmingham), Poland (particularly Great Krakow and Great Warsaw), Germany (particularly Great Stuttgart), France (including Grand Strasbourg), Ireland (particularly Greater Dublin) and Sweden (including Great Malmo) are analysed. The study found that the formation of metropolitan areas in the European Union was the key to the dynamic development of the macro-region, the powerful integration mechanism and an important factor in geopolitical influence. However, the formation of the metropolitan system within the country that have high functional status and extend their influence beyond the state, allowed to intensify regional development of the national territory. Common features in the strategic planning of foreign metropolises were identified, including: 1) transition to planning, based on the partnership between the city administration and relevant entities of metropolitan area; 2) direct active participation of local communities in the development of strategies of the metropolis; 3) designing approach to the priorities and strategic directions of development; 4) strengthening of foreign economic aspect in a globalized economy; 5) consideration of environmental component; 6) permanent monitoring of the implementation of the strategic plan of the metropolis development; 7) openness of strategic plans for adjustment.Based on the results of the study, recommendations for improving of organizational and institutional support of strategic planning of metropolitan areas in Ukraine, taking into account the progressive international trends in this area, were formulated.The necessity of the implementation of comprehensive integrated strategic planning as a tool for sustainable development of metropolitan area is substantiated. A key aspect of its implementation should be a clear definition of development priorities, taking into account the specificity inherent in a particular city, because in modern conditions of social and economic instability, it will: 1. Enable the development and increase the independence of the metropolis. 2. Help to improve the status of the metropolis, because strategic planning is an important factor of prestige, which improves its reputation, especially internationally. 3. Increase the efficiency of municipal management in traditional local municipalities with limited resources. In the process of theoretical and applied research were used the following methods: systematic and dialectic; logic synthesis, system analysis, comparison and synthesis; strategic analysis. Information base of research is laws and regulations of the studied foreign countries concerning the management of metropolitan development, leading domestic and foreign scientists and practitioners studies and researches on a wide range of managerial problems of urban development.
