Urban Community of Lyon

The Urban Community of Lyon (French: Communauté urbaine de Lyon), also known as Grand Lyon (i.e. "Greater Lyon"), or simply known by its acronym COURLY, is the intercommunal structure gathering the city of Lyon (France) and some of its suburbs.

The Urban Community of Lyon encompasses only the center of the metropolitan area of Lyon (see infobox at Lyon article for the metropolitan area). Communes further away from the center of the metropolitan area have formed their own intercommunal structures, such as:

• Syndicate of New Agglomeration of L'Isle-d'Abeau (Syndicat d'agglomération nouvelle de l'Isle-d'Abeau): 38,769 inhabitants
• Community of Communes of the East of Lyon (Communauté de communes de l'Est Lyonnais): 27,706 inhabitants
• Community of Communes of the Garon Valley (Communauté de communes de la Vallée du Garon): 27,515 inhabitants
• etc.
