Cohesion policy

For many years, Europe has supported the transition and economic development of Lille Metropole. European Structural and Investment Funds, mainly the ERDF, have been mobilized to support most of our major urban projects, such as Rives de la Haute Deûle / Euratechnologies, FCB, or our district heating network.

Through an ITI endowed with €37 million, one of the largest ITIs in France, Lille Metropole was able, thanks to the EU and the Hauts-de-France Region, to consolidate its funding and that of the State to renovate in depth its 26 most deprived districts and improve their social and economic environment.
