Cité Internationale (French pronunciation: [site ɛ̃tɛʁnɑsjɔnal]; "International City") is a quarter in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon, France.

[1] This freed land was designated as the site for the construction of the Cité Internationale by successive Lyon mayors (Michel Noir, Raymond Barre, and Gérard Collomb).

[2] In 1985, Lyon mayor Francisque Collomb launched an international competition to design the site, which was won by architect Renzo Piano making him the project manager.

[1] In 1989 the city decided to demolish the buildings that had housed the Foire de Lyon to make room for the new construction.

In 1998 the construction plan was modified to allow for the possible development of the future Palais des congrès de Lyon.
