The formation of the Lyon agglomeration as an entity in the local political system is the result of a long development process. This has evolved from the confrontation between the centre of city and its suburbs, existing at the beginning of the century, to the supra- communal institution which exists currently. The history of joint action between 'communes', in particular the secular development of the urban drainage system, makes it possible to understand how a multi-communal agglomeration progressively establishes itself as a legitimate territorial unit. The interest of this genealogical approach is to propose a new formulation of terms currently used in the debate over the reform of local territorial systems.
