Territorial Coherence Schemes (SCOT) are strategic planning documents mandated by the French SRU Law of December 13, 2000. They are developed by elected officials at the level of life, housing, or employment basins to express an agglomeration's overall strategy. The dataset, provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, was last updated on September 17, 2021.
Use Cases
- Analyzing regional development strategies based on the SCOT's overall agglomeration strategy.
- Modeling urban growth constraints based on the 15 km radius rule for peri-urban areas without a SCOT.
- Assessing housing and commercial development plans based on the SCOT's main choices for housing and commercial urban planning.
- Evaluating environmental policy based on the SCOT's aim to balance natural and urban areas.
Strengths
- Based on a specific legal framework (SRU Law of 13/12/2000)
