There is pressure from the population to rethink land use planning, according to Benoit Phalippou
How to rethink mobility and land use planning? This is the question most municipalities are asking today. One year after the start of the Faubourgs plan in Avignon, Benoit Phalippou was the guest of France Bleu Vaucluse 6-9. A specialist in the matter, he explains that “rethinking land use planning means developing urban areas so that uses can be made as best as possible in the available space. The energy crisis and the post-Covid period lead everyone to think about their habits, particularly travel habits. Urban planning must respond to these needs. The difficulty is to take into account what exists and imagine what will exist“. But the task is not as simple as it seems. The associate director at the firm Cereg believes that the problem is multifactorial.”It is also necessary to integrate through the developments various elements such as global warming, water management, revegetation, good understanding between all forms of travel“, before concluding”that it is normal for there to be content and dissatisfaction. It takes a period of adaptation“.
