The partners

The COPIT-GPCI comprises 5 local authorities, which combined forces in the Grootstad project, and permanently build on a metropolis in their cross-border region.

The region comprises the west of Hainault, the south of West-Flanders and the Lille conglomeration.

As a result of the initiative, it is possible to develop a truly dynamic approach in the metropolis which will benefit all the partners involved.
