Urban Community (LMCU)
The Urban Community of Lille Métropole (Lille Métropole Communauté Urbaine - LMCU) is a public body forming the basis for intercommunal cooperation, according to the law set out on 31 December 1966. The aim of the law is to counter certain disadvantages stemming from the large number of towns cooexisting in major metropolitan areas.
LMCU brings together 85 towns and villages, comprising more than 1 million inhabitants, within a territory which has both urban and rural parts. The main goals of LMCU were concerned initially with urban planning issues and public service provision, but have evolved since new legislation in July 1999 to further extend the links between the constituent communes.
The President of Lille Métropole Communauté Urbaine is former French Prime Minister, Pierre MAUROY.
