Lille metropolis area cohesion French team june 2012 Third phase of Workshop: SWOT analysis Young Planners Working Group Planning and territorial cohesion

SWOT analysis Analysis of each item ▫ Governance ▫ Mobility ▫ Housing ▫ (coming soon : economic !)

Local Governance: between the administrative division and the metropolitan polarization The MLA is not an administrative or planning entity An association providing good practices, a study area to support the metropolitan dynamism The democratic process tend to justify the classic administrative entities No policy maker is elected to conduct Lille Metropolis or MLA, the citizens may find the policies a bit technocratic or incomprehensible. Administration and planning, two warring brothers ? A legal process in favour metropolitan planning but an administration that will not disappear Reminder: in France, intercommunal cooperation structures have not local government, they are cooperation structures

Planning as a key factor to enhance local dynamism SCOT (coherent territorial plan): ties together the various public urban planning policies A kind of large scale masterplan providing objectives in attempt to guarantee territory cohesion through sectorial policies The local urbanism plan (PLU) at a communal regulatory level Lille Metropolis’ PLU is made at an intercommunal level Cooperation beyond boundaries  Planning and development agency of Lille Metropolis and Coalfield Mission conducting studies for AML  Commercial chambers concerting economic world  Stakeholders meeting in Grand Lille Committee  Toward planning supported by AML ?

Toward a metropolitan governance

Mobility and main infrastructures RAILWAY NETWORK LMA is particularly well placed on the north- european high-speed train netwok Eurallile district as a symbol of Lille as triangle center of Brussels/London/Paris High-speed train-plane relationship via Paris or Brussels Airport improve area accessibility Lille Airport isn’t efficient due to accessibility to this two airports and railway network Regional railway network is quite efficient but a lake of links between LMA french and belgium regions RET-GV : using high-speed trains to intern transportation is a cohesion factor…and also is too expensive

Mobility and main infrastructures FREIGHT AND WATERWAY LMA is a hub for freight : Easy acces to northern range of sea ports (like Antwerp, Rotterdam,..) Array of waterway, road and rail services Delta 3 Dourges hub North seine europe canal in 2017 ROADS Interface of motorways Traffic congestion around Lille due to : Many people and goods Urban developments where car is needed each day PUBLIC URBAN TRANSPORTATION Need to develop offer(bus and tram-train routes) Try to facilitate mobility : New hubs Combined prices

Mobility and main infrastructures StrenghtWeakness the high speed rail, waterways political ready to improving cross-border links Airport heavy traffic and traffic jam in south of Lille important rate of people without personal car OpportunitiesThreatness freight rail highway (Lille/paris/hendaye) canal North Seine (Cambrai/paris) provision of information and the establishment of intermodal pricing throughout the LMA (public transportation) subsidy of the region railway system urban development without efficient public transportation

Housing Inside a territory of cohesion, the residential mobility must be possible so that a feeling of common identity exists and so that do not develop sectors hollow of a territorial cohesion on a wider territory. We shall observe the sectors where the housing stock presents specificities susceptible to reveal a defect of territorial cohesion. WORKING ORIENTATIONS The constitution of the housing stock: small housing in city center and big housing in periphery. This fact determines on the French part more than on the Belgian part the choices of residential localization of the residents, according to their age. On this point, an interview with a property developer could let us understand the logics of construction which takes to this specialization. The state of the housing stock: we can observe a deterioration of housing on some old worker residential areas. In the centers-city of the Urban Community of Lille, big housing exist, but because of their state they are unhabited. An interview with an association which works in urban regeneration then with the Urban Community of Lille could allow us to know the means and the actors implied in the answer to this phenomenon.

Housing WORKING ORIENTATIONS The price of housing: according to places, the prices of housings are very diversified. An interview with a social social lessor could allow us to understand the possibilities of rebalancing of the offer of housing. The localization of housing and the access to the services and to the jobs: big infrastructures of transport keep some residential areas at a distance. These same infrastructures connect residential areas in pole of jobs. An analysis of the territory will have to allow us to understand this point. The disparities of territories seem less important on the Belgian part. They seem particularly important inside of the territory of the Urban Community of Lille. It is also the most urban territory of the metropolitan Area of Lille.

Housing StrenghtWeakness Projets/targets - Diversified housing stock - Patrimonial quality (common identity) of housing on some sectors - Important urban poles - Local specializations of the offer of housing - Difficulties of maintenance of some housing -Contrasted territories Develop the identical aspect old residential areas Development of a local governance OpportunitiesThreatness Promote the creation of poles: Diversified housing stock, connected with equipments and jobs, around the symbolic places. - Attractive territory thanks to its level of equipments - Well localized not built sectors - Fractures in the territory owed to the infrastructures of transport Act on the localization of the urban development Participate in the definition of the projects of infratrsuctures Define equipments to be developed
