The dataset contains territorial coherence schemes (SCOT) established under the French SRU Law of 13/12/2000. Drawn up by elected representatives, these schemes express the overall strategy of an agglomeration and set out main choices in housing, natural/urban area balance, infrastructure, and commercial urban planning. The data is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières and was last updated on 2021-01-29.
