Métropole Rouen Normandie

What Métropole Rouen Normandie does

Métropole Rouen Normandie is a French public territorial collectivity (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) established in 2015, succeeding the former Communauté urbaine de Rouen. Headquartered at Le 108, 108 Allée François Mitterrand in Rouen under President Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol, it coordinates metropolitan-scale public services across 71 communes and approximately 117,853 residents of Rouen city (metropolitan area larger). The institution delivers water distribution (Eau de la Métropole, operated as a public régie), waste management, public transport (Astuce network, TEOR T5 line, LOVÉLO bike-sharing, MOBI EV charging, river shuttle), urban planning, economic development, environmental and biodiversity programs, and urban renewal through the NPNRU program.

The digital product surface is built on a Drupal CMS with PHP backend and Nginx web server, anchored by the Mes Démarches administrative portal (maintained with Entrouvert), the Guichet Numérique des Autorisations d'Urbanisme (GNAU) for permit workflows, an Open Data Portal, and integrations with OpenAgenda and Weezevent. A unified SSO account system links the citizen-facing services. The organization is GDPR (RGPD) compliant and is working toward full RGAA 4.1.2 accessibility compliance (49% of criteria met as of the November 2025 Koena audit, with a multi-year schema planned for 2026).

Revenue is generated through local taxation, state fiscal transfers, public service fees (water, waste, transit), and public procurement contracts. Customer segments are citizens, local businesses requiring economic development support, and the 71 communes themselves. The business model is non-commercial: services are funded by deliberated local taxation and budget allocations rather than market pricing. The entity has no funding rounds, no private shareholders, no acquisitions, and no subsidiaries.
