Special relationships with other major cities around the world
The international cooperation between the Lyon metropolitan area and its partner cities takes various forms:
- exchanges between specialists in urban public policy and joint participation in European projects
- the mobilisation of these connections and special contacts for the metropolitan area’s major international projects
