This ideal position, at the heart of a rich and densely populated (80 M people) basin represents a huge economical asset.
A cross-border eurometropolis
Sharing 86 km of border with its Belgian neighbour makes Lille Metropole an essential partner, as evidenced by the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropole, the first and largest EGTC (European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation) in Europe with 2.1 million inhabitants.
A large urban and rural metropole
Lille Metropole encompasses 95 municipalities and 1.2 million inhabitants, in a territory both rural and urban, made up of cities like Lille (230,000 inhabitants), Roubaix and Tourcoing (100,000 each) and smaller towns and villages.
