The Métropole du Grand Paris (Metropolis of Greater Paris, MGP) is an intermunicipal structure covering the City of Paris and its nearest surrounding suburbs. The métropole came into existence on 1 January 2016; it comprises 131 communes, including Paris, all 123 communes in the surrounding inner-suburban departments of Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne, plus seven communes in two of the outer-suburban
departments (Argenteuil in Val-d'Oise, Athis-Mons, Morangis, Savigny-sur-Orge, Juvisy-sur-Orge, Viry-Châtillon and Paray-Vieille-Poste in Essonne, the last of which covers part of Orly Airport).

The métropole is administered by a metropolitan council of 210 members, not directly elected, but chosen by the councils of the member communes. Its responsibilities include urban planning, housing, as well as environment protection.

The 131 communes of the Métropole du Grand Paris are grouped in établissements publics territoriaux (EPT) or Territoires (territories), which replaced the existing inter-municipal public institutions and inherited their competences such as sport and socio-cultural amenities, water supply, sanitation, waste management and some urban and social policies.
