Core offering

Métropole du Grand Nancy is a French public metropolitan authority that delivers statutory public services on behalf of its 20 member communes, including urban planning, mobility and public transport, waste collection and recycling, drinking water and sanitation, economic development, housing, social cohesion, tourism, culture, and environmental policy. It also develops and operates digital services for citizens (incident reporting, parking, waste schedules, online deliberations, GIS, digital library) and runs flagship facilities such as Nancy Thermal.

Product overview

The Métropôle du Grand Nancy operates a unified digital services platform providing civic, administrative, mobility, cultural, and environmental services to residents across its 20 municipalities. The core offering is the grandnancy.eu public services portal, which is supplemented by dedicated mobile-accessible applications: G-Ny (Signalement) for incident reporting, G-Ny P (Stationnement) for parking management, and Mes Déchets for waste collection services. The metropolitan area's strategic digital infrastructure includes GeoNancy (interactive GIS portal), Technopôle Henri Poincaré (science park), and the Artem Campus (excellence campus). Major urban development projects — Nancy Thermal (wellness complex), Nancy Centre Gare (station district transformation), and Le Grand Carreau (food ecosystem hub) — represent large-scale infrastructure services under development. Publication products include Métropoly (quarterly public magazine), Visit Nancy (tourist magazine), #MÉTRO newsletter, and annual activity reports. All of these operate alongside a full public administration platform providing budget documents, online deliberations, public procurement, and job listings.
