Public institutions for inter-municipal cooperation (EPCI) are groupings of municipalities with common development projects. The dataset likely contains information on EPCIs with own taxation, such as Urban Communities and Communities of Agglomeration, as well as those without. It was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and last updated in May 2019.
