The '''Urban Community of Lyon''' ([[French language|French]]: ''[[Communauté urbaine]] de Lyon''), also known as '''Grand Lyon''' (i.e. "Greater Lyon") or by its former [[acronym]] '''COURLY''', is the [[Communes in France#Intercommunality|intercommunal]] structure gathering the [[Commune in France|city]] of [[Lyon]] ([[France]]) and some of its suburbs.
The Urban Community of Lyon encompasses only the core of the metropolitan area of Lyon.
[[Commune in France|Communes]] further away from the centre of the metropolitan area have formed their own intercommunal structures, such as:
* [[Syndicate of New Agglomeration of L'Isle-d'Abeau]] (''Syndicat d'agglomération nouvelle de l'Isle-d'Abeau''): 38,769 inhabitants
* [[Community of Communes of the East of Lyon]] (''Communauté de communes de l'Est Lyonnais''): 27,706 inhabitants
* [[Community of Communes of the Garon Valley]] (''Communauté de communes de la Vallée du Garon''): 27,515 inhabitants
==Communes included in the Urban Community==
The Urban Community originally comprised 55 communes. However, on 1 January 2007, two additional communes, [[Givors]] and [[Grigny, Rhône|Grigny]], joined, bringing the total up to 57. These two communes are detached from the rest of the Urban Community, as [[Millery, Rhône|Millery]] (the commune linking Grigny with Charly and Vernaison) and neighbouring villages refused to join the Urban Community. On 1 January 2011, [[Lissieu]], joined, bringing the total to 58.
