Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Habitat — Sensitive urban area (including urban revitalisation zone) in Loir-et-Cher

The Law of 14 November 1996 implementing the City Recovery Pact (PRV) distinguishes three levels of intervention: sensitive urban areas, urban revitalisation zones (ZRUs), urban free zones (ZFU). These three levels of intervention ZUS, ZRU and ZFU, characterised by devices of increasing importance, aim to respond to different degrees of difficulties encountered in these neighbourhoods. Sensitive urban areas are infra-urban areas defined by the public authorities to be the priority target of city policy, depending on local considerations related to the difficulties faced by the inhabitants of these territories. Sensitive urban areas are defined in the PRV Act as areas “characterised by the presence of large settlements or degraded areas of habitat and by an increased imbalance between housing and employment”. The SEZs were determined on qualitative criteria (large sets, employment/habitat imbalance) through a joint community-state analysis. These areas are now among the priority areas of urban social cohesion contracts (CUCS). In addition, the PRV Law states that ‘urban revitalisation areas correspond to those in sensitive urban areas... which face particular difficulties, assessed on the basis of their situation in the agglomeration, their economic and commercial characteristics and a summary index. This is established, under conditions laid down by decree, taking into account the number of inhabitants of the district, the rate of unemployment, the proportion of young people under 25 years of age, the proportion of persons leaving the school system without a diploma and the fiscal potential of the municipalities concerned’. The old ZUS are archived and are no longer included in this dataset.
