Summary/Abstract: The “communautéurbaine” of Saint‑Etienne Métropole reaches the status of Metropolis in 2018. This paper aims at showing that the intermunicipal cooperation in Saint‑Etienne metropolitan area is the result of a relatively recent and conflicting process, in particular for the recognition of the structuring role of the main city. The metropolitan frame of reference remains dependent on the municipal one, and still represents a major challenge to “speak with a single voice” in the context of the rescaling of public policies in France.
