The organization focuses on developing and maintaining the territory’s attractiveness as both a rural area and a site of industrial and service activity, while supporting cultural institutions and tourism. Its cultural and recreational assets include major venues and museums, as well as historic sites that contribute to its regional influence. In its climate- and sustainability-related work, the métropole pursued a locally inspired climate initiative linked to global accords, aiming to bring together communes, businesses, and residents to address environmental goals.
