Résumé anglais The aim of this article is to show that an empiric and pragmatic approach lies behind the creation of the urban community of 'Saint- Etienne Metropole'. Its existence results from a minimal consensus relating to a minimal territory and is challenged by other forms of territorial division. To the north, Andrézieu-Bouthéon, favouring an individual strategy, has opted for an autonomous position within the intercommunal structure existing in the canton of Saint- Galmier. To the north-west, the reluctance, even hostily, of Montbrison, has resulted in the autonomy of the canton of Saint- Just-Saint-Rambert. At the eastern extremity of the Gier valley, various forms of disagreement are evident.
