SCoT: Territorial Coherence Schemes for Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region's Territorial Coherence Schemes (SCoT), which are strategic land-use planning documents mandated by French law. The dataset is provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and was last updated in April 2019. These schemes express an agglomeration's overall strategy for housing, natural/urban area balance, infrastructure, and commercial development.

Use Cases

• Analyze regional development strategies based on the legal framework for housing and employment basins.
• Model urban growth constraints based on the 15 km radius rule for peri-urban areas without an SCoT.
• Map planned infrastructure and commercial development zones based on the scheme's main strategic choices.

Strengths

• Based on a specific French law (SRU Law of 13/12/2000) with a defined implementation date (1 January 2002).
• Covers a major French administrative region (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur).
• Provided by a known geological and mining research organization (BRGM).

Limitations
