Building in natural and agricultural areas. Urban planning in the Provençal region

Abstract

‪Urban sprawl is a “regulatory construction” in many rural and peri-urban areas. If urban scattering remains prevalent in many French municipalities, it is in large part because it is orchestrated through the regulatory measures that elected officials choose to adopt. The research presented here is based on the analysis of a collection of eighty-eight urban planning documents drafted by a panel of municipalities in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region between 2000 and 2010. Based on an examination of the planning tools in place, we argue that it is possible to identify the legal practices through which pressure is exerted on agricultural and natural areas.‪
