Urban renewal and development

Aménagement et renouvellement urbain

Building the Intense City

Implementing the Master Deliberation of June 2009

     " [We must] first of all, invent, here in Lille Metropole, the urban shape of the Metropole of the 21st century. Faced with trends of individualisation and urban segregation, our intention must be to organise the Metropole in to an attractive, sustainable and attractive “city-territories” renewing with urban, functional, social and generational mix with economic performance and social efficiency. This presupposes rethinking our planning strategies for the Metropole based on three factors which cannot be separated from one another and which must be designed jointly ; housing, economy and transport.."

Urban productionin short : the interplay of actors

European levels: objects for results (examples: greenhouse gas emissions , fine dust, water quality…) and methods (example: environmental assessment)

National level:

Legislative framework (Urbanism Code, e.a.), future Act concerning the national commitment to the environment (“Grenelle 2”)

General interest projects

Local level (municipal and inter-municipality): Planning documents:

SCOT, Territorial Consistency Blueprint (inter-municipality)

PLU ( Local Urbanism Plan) (municipal or inter-municipal)

Urbanism authorizations (municipal)

Lille Métropole: SCOT = 124 towns and villages; PLU = 85 towns and villages

Urban production in short : the interplay of actors

Land property divided up (in town and was well as the outskirts)

Real tools or land policy tool (pre-emption, expropriation, easement…) but which are not up to the level of the urban challenges

Not restrictive land tax

The importance of private selling and home-ownership;

Urban change with interplay of actors: inter-municipality (LMCU) + town/village + land owners + promoters + builders (private or public) +new owners + tenants

Inter-municipality levels: planning (SCOT [Territorial Consistency Blueprint ], PLU [Local Urbanism Plan]) + operational urbanism (ZAC) (Mixed Development Zone) + land policy + technical competence dialogue, negotiations, co-production

Getting urban sprawl under control

Quality objectives

> social and functional mix ( fine mix)> networking of streets> amenities, shops, services> travelling on foot, on bikes, on public transport > the quality of public areas> limit parking in public areas> limit parking for activities> private outdoors areas (terraces, gardens)> parks> environmental and landscape challenges (water, nature…)

What is the Intense City? quality and density, and ways of operating

10

> walk children to school> greater freedom for children, for the elderly and for people with reduced mobility> local shops and services

> a district which is not empty during the day and where something is always happening

> a district for all populations> the end of the "second car" (and very considerable savings)> easy access, by buses and trams to everything the city offers> public transport making it easier to get to work> protection against the fluctuations of the cost of energy> living near nature, living near the countryside

The Intense City for the population

11

Density objectives

> for the whole of the territory> but depending on contexts, urban environments, and typologies> thresholds

· 35 homes / ha (gross) or 50 homes / ha (net)

i.e. building plot ratio from 0.40 to 0.50· ratio target=1 for the offices (= net)· ratio target = 0.5 for activities (= net)

> Increase for attractive features (transport, parks...)> modulate with operations, time management

• raw density = “with the streets" - net = “without the streets"  • weighting principles for the mix of functions, parks etc.? • we haven’t written a ton of regulations for this

co-production with the towns/and villages

> projects to adjust and adapt to the context(density, forms, phasing over time...)

> developing awareness, dialogue and educational process> regulatory translation (with/without "Grenelle" Act)> assessment

in order to do this> higher standards for the order (for the studies, the consultancy) > higher requirements for an enhanced dialogue> adding value to production, for collective intelligence
