Priority Neighborhoods in Ile-de-France: Urban Policy Geography

A 2019 extraction of official perimeters for priority neighborhoods under French urban policy, replacing previous designations like Sensitive Urban Zones (ZUS). The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and is based on national decrees from 2014. It includes links to data from INSEE and the New National Urban Renewal Program (NPNRU).

Use Cases

• Mapping urban inequality based on the official priority neighborhood perimeters.
• Analyzing the evolution of urban policy from ZUS/ZRU/ZFU to the 2014 reform.
• Correlating socio-economic indicators with the defined neighborhood geographies.
• Planning resource allocation for urban renewal programs in Ile-de-France.

Strengths

• Based on official national decrees (2014-767, 2014-1750, etc.) defining the legal geography.
• Includes links to INSEE data and the New National Urban Renewal Program (NPNRU).
• Provides a clear historical context for the policy evolution from 1996 to 2014.
