| Zusammenfassung |
| Despite a severe regulation concerning the building in flooding areas, 80% of these areas
are already built in the Greater Paris (Paris, Val-de-Marne, Hauts-de-Seine and
Seine-Saint-Denis). The land use in flooding area is presented as one of the main solutions to
solve the ongoing real estate pressure. For instance some of the industrial wastelands located
along the river are currently in redevelopment and residential buildings are planned. So
landuse in the flooding areas is currently a key issue in the development of the Greater Paris
area.
Tools and measures, structural or non-structural such as warning systems, barriers, etc do
exist and could be a smart way to improve the resilience of the new urbanised areas. The
technical solutions are available and efficient, but we notice that these tools are not much
implemented. There is a lack of flood risk concern among the stakeholders and the
inhabitants1.
How landuse stakeholders could integrate the flood risk in the decision making process
throughout the implementation of the urban project? Which type of governance favours an
efficient development of good flood risk policy including prevention, protection and the
management of the crisis?
What is the “good” governance of the urban project e.g. enabling to take into account or
not to forget the flood risk and to empower the (future) inhabitants? This inhabitants’
empowerment includes the improvement of awareness (i.e. inhabitants being aware that they
live in a flooded area) and the improvement of concern (i.e. inhabitants adopting the “right”
behaviour when the risk occurs).
In order to investigate how flood risk is or could be integrated in the project
governance, we interviewed stakeholders (elected representatives, architects, property
developers, etc.) and observed the integration or the vanishing of the risk throughout the
project.
In order to develop this topic we rely on a case study. The “Ardoines” is a project aiming
at redeveloping an industrial site (South-East Paris), into a project including residential and
office buildings and other amenities. In order to elaborate the master plan, the urban planning
authority brought together some flood risk experts. With the remarks of the experts, the
architect in charge of the landuse elaborated the master plan taking into account the
flood risk; reducing vulnerability of the area and improving the resilience in case
of floods, towards a threshold plan. How the experts’ recommendations appear
in the execution phase? We will show how the project completes or departs from
the regulatory policy concerning the drawing up and the implementation of the
prevention/protection against flood risk in France. How the vulnerability reduction or the
resilience improvement reproduce the regulatory fragmentation, i.e.; on one hand
the risk prevention plan and on the other hand the crisis management? We will
demonstrate how a resilient approach should mix the several regulatory segments and put
the inhabitant in the middle of the urban project thanks to suitable urban forms. |
