The Métropole Européenne de Lille (MEL) [English: "European Metropolis of Lille"]) is the métropole, an intercommunal structure, composed by a network of big cities (Lille, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Villeneuve d'Ascq, Armentières etc.) whose major city is the city of Lille. The urban community was founded in 1967; on 1st January 2015, the métropole replaced the urban community, and on !st January 2017, the number of municipalities of the métropole increased from 85 to 90.
ILÉVIA is the public transport operator for the Lille Métropole, the metropolitan area surrounding the city of Lille in northern France. It operates a mixed system, comprising buses, trams and a driverless light metro system. In January 2019, the company changed from its former name 'Transpole' to 'ilévia'.
