Résumé anglais Today, the urban region appears as the result of an attempt to find a better balance between the function and the institution through a new form of territorial restructuring. The Urban Region of Lyon (RUL) which was created at the beginning of the 1970s through the initiative of the state, does not represent just a further administrative division ; it provides a forum for dialogue between different actors. Its development marks a second period of change in the history of relations between communes in the Lyon region, following that resulting from the creation of the 'urban community'. This change results from the period that it seems to prefigure, at a different spatial scale, a new 'project' approach to intercommunal actions. lOver recent years the RUL has been behind an ambitious document (the Charter of objectives - RUL 2010) which seeks to innovate in urban planning and which is integrated into the new conceptual framework of regional planning and development policy in the 1990s. Today, even with more modest objectives, the RUL has a role to play in the search for new forms of urban management-made necessary by the growing complexity of territorial relationships ; this is despite the absence of any political legitimacy for the RUL which prevents it from becoming a true institution of government.
