Toulouse Métropole is the intercommunal structure gathering the city of Toulouse (France) and some of its suburbs.
History
It was created on January 1, 2015, succeeding the urban community of Greater Toulouse, which had itself succeeded in 2009 and 2001 to previous districts created in 1992 with less powers than either the urban community or the current métropole.
Geography
Due to local political feuds, Toulouse Métropole only hosts 59% of the population of the metropolitan area (see infobox at Toulouse article for the metropolitan area), the other independent communes of the metropolitan area having refused to join in, notably Muret and the technopolis of Labège-Innopole.
Consequently, the other parts of the metropolitan area have formed different intercommunal structures, such as:
- Community of Agglomeration of the Muret Area (Communauté d'agglomération du Muretain): 69,012 inhabitants
- Community of Agglomeration of the Sicoval (Communauté d'agglomération du Sicoval): 63,754 inhabitants, with Labège-Innopole in it
- Community of Communes of Save au Touch (Communauté de communes de la Save au Touch): 32,759 inhabitants
- etc.
