Urban development best practices
Following heavy reconstruction efforts after World War II, community participative planning has a long tradition among the population of Saint-Nazaire. Since its creation in 2001, the metropolitan council is radically transforming its approach to urban development, from its eco-district redevelopment to being an eco-city of the 21st century. In the Certé neighbourhood, north of Saint-Nazaire, its approach is to reorganise the urban space by creating a better social mix with a denser building pattern in order to maintain affordable prices, and above all, to meet the need of local people for the central location of all public services. The ERDF is contributing to the depollution of the adjoining wasteland, the renovation of a sports hall and the renewal of streets and footpaths. Case study
