Bordeaux Métropole ({{IPA|fr|bɔʁdo metʁɔpɔl}}) is the métropole, an intercommunal structure, centred on the city of Bordeaux. It is located in the center of the Gironde department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, in South West France. It represents about half of the department's population. It was created in January 2015, replacing the previous Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux.{{cite web|url=http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000029959044|title=Décret n° 2014-1599 du 23 décembre 2014 portant création de la métropole dénommée " Bordeaux Métropole " | Legifrance|accessdate=29 June 2017}} It brings together 28 municipalities,[https://www.banatic.interieur.gouv.fr/intercommunalite/243300316-bordeaux-metropole Bordeaux Métropole (N° SIREN : 243300316)], BANATIC.

History

The Urban Community of Bordeaux (French: Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux), also known by its French initials CUB, was created in 1966 by the law of 31 December on urban communities which instituted the urban communities of Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon and Strasbourg.

On 1 January 2015, the Métropole replaced the Urban Community in accordance with a law of January 2014.{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexteArticle.do;jsessionid=AE1CAC1A904C6657D38F8E0A7B998BD0.tpdjo17v_2?idArticle=JORFARTI000028526403&cidTexte=JORFTEXT000028526298&dateTexte=29990101&categorieLien=id Loi n° 2014–58 du 27 janvier 2014 de modernisation de l'action publique territoriale et d'affirmation des métropoles]{{in lang|fr}} [http://www.bordeaux-metropole.fr/presse/naissance-de-bordeaux-me-tropole Naissance de Bordeaux Métropole] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150118125654/http://www.bordeaux-metropole.fr/presse/naissance-de-bordeaux-me-tropole |date=18 January 2015 }}
