This built area can also be described as an “urban task” or an urban envelope and is defined as the area delimiting a set of plots built on a given date. This envelope is only a spatial reference to locate a construction limit according to different design criteria.
However, this envelope does not in any way constitute the currently urbanised part defined under the heading; application of land law which is much more restricted, this being determined on the basis of factual elements of land and in the light of case-law criteria.
This built sector serves only as a reference point to contribute to the assessment of space consumption in urban planning documents.
We observe in more detail certain peculiarities of the spatial distribution of built-up areas. These differences can be attributed to the land structure of agricultural areas (cultural typology, parcel geometry, cultural methods of implantation of farms, etc.), to modes of urbanisation in mitage according to the territories or, on the contrary, to more intensified forms of this residential development (regulating aspect of urban planning documents for example).
In the department, these different forms of urban envelopes are identifiable. For example in the Deux-Sèvres, the periphery of Parthenay is composed of a dispersed ensemble of habitat represented by an urban envelope in a cloud of points. While, unlike, the periphery of Niort is marked by larger but more concentrated envelopes.
This data specifies the number of plots constituting each urban envelope. This allows, by simple processing, to select only the consequent urban envelopes, those consisting of at least four units.
