Regional planning in Île-de-FranceThe Schéma directeur de la région Île-de-France (SDRIF)

Outline1. The context

2. One plan, five functions

3. A collaborative work, involving all concerned parties

4. The three philosophical “pillars” of the SDRIF

5. some key concepts


1. The context


A long tradition of regional planning

4 comprehensive regional Plans (SDRIF) since 1965

In 1995, the national Government decentralized the SDRIF to the Ile-de-France Region

A new Plan was approved by the Ile-de-France Region in 2008, then 2013


2. One plan, five functions

The SDRIF is not just one but rather a series of documents, reflecting its unique nature

in French planning


1. A regional vision

providing a collective goal for 2030, in easy-to-access language


2. A spatial project

Translating the regional vision into specific goals

Showing how they can come together in a territorial program


3. A prescriptive documentThe SDRIF lays out rules and guidelines about where and how to develop land.


4. An environmental evaluation

Required by law, it estimates the impact the SDRIF’s goals will have on the environment and initiatives a system to periodically evaluate changes.


5. A “toolbox” It identifies the tools, partnerships, and approaches that will allow us to actually implement the SDRIF’s goals (an aspect lacking in previous plans).


Inserted in a complex planning regime…


3. A collaborative work, involving all concerned parties

4. The three "philosophical pillars" of the SDRIF :

- to link & structure- to polarize & balance

- to preserve & enhance

Regional planning in Île-de-FanceThe Schéma directeur de la région Île-de-France (SDRIF)

Pillar #1:to link & structure


Context: a historically excellent public transportation system, which is overcharged and provides insufficient service outside central Paris.

Program: the national and regional governments will invest 32 billion euros in a major transportation program known as the “New Grand Paris Express”


A) the “Greater Paris Express” supermetro


B) A broader program to modernize and extend public transportation


C) Links with national and international transportation networks


Pillar #2to polarize & balance


A fundamental goal:

Double housing production, in response to the current housing

crisis, while limiting sprawl


“Polarization”

Goal: concentrate growth on vibrant, multifunctional urban centers, which can fulfill residents’ and workers’ main needs close to home and provide excellent public transportation to the rest of the region.

Fight against : uncontrolled urban sprawl


Densification :

To be socially acceptable, density must be accompanied by urban quality and “intensity.”


Support for innovative local governments:

A sustainable “eco-townships” (écoquartiers) program: “Nouveaux quartiers urbains”. So far, 24 laureates.

“BALANCING” : Alongside polarization at a local scale, the SDRIF promotes balance at the regional scale

Goal: attenuate long-rooted disparities in wealth, services, and the job / resident ratio. These disparities roughly follow a NE/SW imbalance.

Approach: “territorialize” regional goals for housing construction, job creation, and land-consumption.


Pillar #3:to preserve & enhance


Goals: • Improve the city-nature mix• Better use open and green spaces• Limit sprawl and strictly limit

extensions in some areas where they would threaten ecological continuities or valuable farm space.

A CONCEPT :the « Green Belt »
