The Metropolitan Council of Lyon (French: Conseil de la métropole de Lyon, Occitan: Conselh de metropòli de Lion) is the deliberative assembly of the Lyon metropolis, a territorial collectivity with special status, made up of 150 metropolitan councilors.

History

Created on 1 January 2015, the metropolis of Lyon replaced the urban community of Lyon and, in its territory, the Rhône department. It exercises both the competencies of a department and those of a metropolitan area.^[1]

Since 2020, the city council, comprising 150 members^[2] (instead of the 166 originally planned in the ministerial ordinance before its review in parliament),^[3] is elected at the same time as the municipal councils by direct universal suffrage^[4] within the framework of 14 electoral constituencies^[5] according to the voting method applicable to municipalities with more than 1,000 inhabitants.^[6]

Headquarters

The headquarters of the city of Lyon is the same as that of the former urban community of Lyon: the building at 20 rue du Lac in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, in the district of La Part Dieu.^[7]^{[failed verification]}

Executive

The Metropolitan Council was re-elected on June 28, 2020 and elected a new president, Bruno Bernard (EÉLV).^[8] The Council is made up of a president and 23 vice-presidents:
