Grand Paris instance of Métropole
The Métropole du Grand Paris (French: [metʁopɔl dy ɡʁɑ̃ paʁi]; "Metropolis of Greater Paris"), also known as Grand Paris or Greater Paris, is a métropole 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 and all 123 communes in the surrounding inner-suburban departments of the Petite Couronne (Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne), plus seven communes in two of the outer-suburban departments, including the communes of Argenteuil in Val-d'Oise, Savigny-sur-Orge, Juvisy-sur-Orge, Viry-Châtillon and Paray-Vieille-Poste in Essonne, the last of which covers part of Orly Airport. Part of the métropole comprises the Seine department, which existed from 1929 to 1968. 
Grand Paris covers 814 square kilometers (314 square miles), about the size of Singapore, and has a population of over 7 million. 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 Métropole du Grand Paris should not be confused with the Grand Paris Express, a new transportation system being developed independently to connect the departments in the Paris suburbs.
