I thought about Metropolitan District Council, but these tend to be centered around a big city.

The French make careful distinctions between "communauté urbaine", "communauté d'agglomération" and "communauté de communes", depending on the urbanity/rurality of the district concerned. The rules for setting them up and operating them MIGHT be different, but they have a common purpose, to pool resources (and benefit from government subsidies, many of which have been withdrawn from individual "commune" level and are now granted only to the "combined" councils, in an effort to encourage people to group together), such as fewer large plants (sewage, water treatment, etc.) rather than more small ones), simplify management of roads, social services, and make economies of scale.
<<La communauté urbaine qui est la structure la plus intégrée est adaptée aux grandes agglomérations, puisqu'il faut désormais compter plus de 500 000 habitants pour en constituer de nouvelles. La communauté d'agglomération concerne les territoires regroupant une population de plus de 50 000 habitants, autour d'une ville de taille moyenne ou grande (au moins 15 000 habitants) tandis que la communauté de communes, dont la création n'est subordonnée à aucun seuil démographique, s'adresse plus naturellement au milieu rural>>
For the English reader, I doubt you really need to make distinctions, and a "generic" term like "greater administrative district council", "combined district council", "integrated area council", etc. should be enough (in all cases).
Note that "communauté" here is used to refer both to the geographical area AND to the council that manages it.

Agglomerate
"The land-use structure around the capital is influenced by a shortage of land and high competition between different land users. An area of concern is the expansion of the Moscow city agglomerate."
"An "Urban Agglomerate" is the combination of cities where there is no real visual border between two cities. "

inter-council partnership
There are plenty of descriptions on the web, such as "borough councils working together", but little in the way of nouns. I can't believe it's that recent in the UK, anyway here are some details of a recent egov summit which provides some food for thought on the subject in English: http://www.egovsummit.com/programme.asp
"partnership" is definitely a buzz-word in the current UK administration
