Since 1 January 2007, the Union became the Communauté d'agglomération Porte de l'Isère, with over 106,000 inhabitants in 22 communes.

The commune has eight primary schools (one is private), three middle schools, one high school, in addition to two IUT facilities dedicated to informatic and multimedia jobs.
