Communauté urbaine Caen la Mer


The communauté urbaine Caen la Mer is the communauté urbaine, an intercommunal structure, centred on the city of Caen. It is located in the Calvados department, in the Normandy region, northwestern France. It was created in January 2017, replacing the previous Communauté d'agglomération Caen la Mer and two communautés de communes. Its population was 265,466 in 2016, of which 109,750 in Caen proper.

History

The communauté urbaine had its origins in the creation in 1990 of a District of Greater Caen which consisted of 18 communes.
Since then the grouping transformed itself in 2002 into an Agglomeration called the Communauté d'agglomération du Grand Caen. Since 2004 it has been called the communauté d'agglomération Caen la mer.
The community welcomed ten more member communes on 1 January 2003 and Sannerville on 1 January 2004.
From 1 January 2013, a further six communes were accepted into the agglomeration: three communes from the former Communauté de communes des Rives de l'Odonn and Colleville-Montgomery, Ouistreham, and Saint-André-sur-Orne. This regrouping created an agglomeration of 236,167 inhabitants. In January 2017 the agglomeration community merged with the former commune communities of Entre Thue et Mue and Plaine Sud de Caen, and became an urban community.
The agglomeration staff numbered 650 workers in 2009, with an annual budget of €245 million, of which €95.9 million were investments.
