Dijon Métropole is the intercommunal structure centered around the
city of Dijon. It is located in the Côte-d'Or department, in the
Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It was created in April 2017,
replacing the previous Communauté urbaine du Grand Dijon.
Its area is 240.0 km2. Its population was 257 193 in 2021, of which
159 346 in Dijon proper.
The district of Dijon was created in 1976 by five municipalities
(Ahuy, Chenôve, Dijon, Plombières-lès-Dijon and Saint-Apollinaire) in
order to manage urban transport, household waste and firefighters.
The district grew to nine municipalities in 1978 (Fontaine-lès-Dijon,
Longvic, Quetigny and Talant joining the intercommunality) then to
thirteen municipalities in 1984 (Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur, Daix,
Neuilly-lès-Dijon, Sennecey-lès-Dijon). The district took on
responsibilities related to housing and the creation of industrial
zones. Its skills gradually increased with land management in 1982,
the crematorium and cemetery in 1988, economic development actions in
1993 and the "major roads" in 1994.
The Dijon urban community (COMADI) was founded on December 24, 1999,
bringing together 16 municipalities: the thirteen of the former
district (Ahuy, Chenôve, Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur, Daix, Dijon,
Fontaine-lès-Dijon, Longvic, Neuilly-lès-Dijon, Plombières-lès-Dijon,
Quetigny, Saint-Apollinaire, Sennecey-lès-Dijon and Talant) and three
new municipalities (Marsannay-la-Côte, Ouges and Perrigny-lès-Dijon).
Among its new skills, seconomic development, community space planning,
social balance of housing, urban policy, protection and enhancement of
the environment and living environment, community roads, water and
sanitation...
On 1 January 2004, five new municipalities joined the urban community:
Bressey-sur-Tille, Bretenière, Crimolois, Hauteville-lès-Dijon and
Magny-sur-Tille. The following year, the structure changed its name to
become the Greater Dijon Urban Community, and the usual name "Grand
Dijon" replaced that of "Comadi".
In 2007, the municipality of Fénay joined Greater Dijon. On 1 January
2013, the municipalities of Corcelles-les-Monts and Flavignerot joined
Greater Dijon, bringing the number of associated municipalities to 24.
On 1 January 2015, the Greater Dijon was transformed and took on the
official status of an urban community, exercising a greater number of
powers, but thus benefiting from larger state grants.
On 28 April 2017, the Greater Dijon urban community was transformed
into a metropolis under the name of "Dijon Métropole".
On February 28, 2019, the new municipality of Neuilly-Crimolois
replaced Neuilly-lès-Dijon and Crimolois, bringing the number of
municipalities in the inter-municipality to 23.
The Dijon Métropole consists currently of the following 23 communes:
Ahuy, Bressey-sur-Tille, Bretenière, Chenôve, Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur,
Corcelles-les-Monts, Daix, Dijon, Fénay, Flavignerot,
Fontaine-lès-Dijon, Hauteville-lès-Dijon, Longvic, Magny-sur-Tille,
Marsannay-la-Côte, Neuilly-Crimolois, Ouges, Perrigny-lès-Dijon,
Plombières-lès-Dijon, Quetigny, Saint-Apollinaire, Sennecey-lès-Dijon,
Talant.

served by Dole airport in Jura: photo, photo (2024).
