Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Urban contract for social cohesion in the Upper Rhine

Urban social cohesion contracts replaced city contracts in 2007 as part of the developed territory project for the benefit of neighbourhoods in difficulty. The CUCS is a contract between the State and local authorities that commits each of the partners to implement concerted actions to improve the daily lives of residents in neighbourhoods experiencing difficulties (unemployment, violence, housing, etc.). It is drawn up at the joint initiative of the mayor or president of the EPCI, and the prefect of department. The general framework and guidelines were defined by the Interministerial Committee for the City (CIV) of 9 March 2006.The contract is signed for a period of three years, renewable once, by the prefect of the department and by the mayor and/or president of the EPCI, in consultation with the regional prefect. Regional and general councils shall, at their request, be associated with contractualisation. Depending on local issues, privileged partners are asked to: Caisse des dépôts et consignations, funds for family allowances, social lenders, rectorates...The data contain only urban social cohesion contracts which have been signed. The old CUCS (i.e. those that are finished) are to be archived.
