Second phase in the redesignation of the village centre: project management and engineeringBrief descriptionThe municipality has signed a development agreement with the Regional Council for the restructuring and revitalisation of the village. The key challenges are to halt the village's descent into a dormitory town and help it to become once again a convivial area in all seasons and capitalise on its image as gateway to the Chartreuse Regional National Park. Property management and the development of natural and cultural resources will allow the creation of a village square (with fountain and pedestrian areas), the improvement of access to public amenities, and the enhancement of the tourist infrastructure and shopping offer. An ecological construction approach has been initiated with the creation of wood-fired heating plant and social housing.
AimsThe objectives of the project as a whole reflect the provisions of the Alpine Convention's Protocol on "Land Use Planning and Sustainable Development". Indeed, in this small municipality, projects are borne by a team of motivated voluntary elected representatives. The redesignation of the core of the village is a large-scale project, and the elected representatives are aware of the limits to their availability and their competences. Project co-ordination and engineering would allow the establishment of a development policy in the area that is viable, acceptable and durable while ensuring the professionalism of the approach. The amenities already in place or yet to come will thus acquire their full meaning as vectors of a new socio-economic dynamic in the village. It will also enable the elected representatives to devote more time to the operation's qualitative aspects: relations with local and outside agents, improved concertation with residents, shopkeepers, associations and players involved in tourism.
