As a public body of intermunicipal cooperation with its own taxation revenue and specific status, the Greater Paris Metropolis exercises powers in five mandatory areas, as defined in the metropolitan program:
–             Economic, social and cultural development and planning;
–             Environmental protection and enhancement and living environment policy;
–             Development of the metropolitan space;
–             Local housing policy;
–             Management of aquatic environments and flood prevention.

Initiatives by Greater Paris Metropolis aim to improve the living environment for residents, reduce inequalities between territories, and develop a sustainable social and economic urban model that ensures attractiveness and greater competitiveness for the benefit of the entire country. Furthermore, Greater Paris Metropolis is a space for dialogue and strategic orientation for the 131 municipalities in the continuous dense urban zone. It provides a relevant level for action to contribute to restoring territorial balance. Lastly, Greater Paris Metropolis is part of a local and global dynamic. At local level, dense and connected urban zones have specific demands in terms of housing, transport, environment and distribution of economic activity. Greater Paris Metropolis offers a clear response to all these issues.

Bordeaux Métropole is a public intermunicipal cooperation establishment (EPCI). It brings together 28 municipalities with more than 800,000 inhabitants, covering an area of 57,828 hectares.
Bordeaux Métropole is involved in the daily lives of its residents: transportation, mobility, housing, urban planning, economic development and employment, nature preservation, water and sanitation management, waste collection and management, digital access, support for cultural and sports events, as well as metropolitan and municipal facilities (schools, stadiums, etc.). All of these actions place the quality and accessibility of metropolitan public services at the top of the priorities for the area.
To align all of these competencies around a structured project that serves everyone, Bordeaux Métropole sets strategic and cross-cutting directions for all public policies implemented to meet its ambitions: being a proximity-oriented, innovative, solidarity-driven, and ecological metropolis.
