About the territorial conditions of regional tram systems. Some case studies in France Xavier Desjardins Maître de conférences – Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne CRIA – UMR Géographie-Cités
Introduction • Whyisitsodifficult to develop efficient railwayservices in french outersuburbs ? Mulhouse Regional tram in the city centre
Introduction • Hypothesis : the morphology of the french outersuburbanizationis (mostoften) unfavorable to rail Two parts : • A comparisonbetween Kassel and five french same size agglomeration • An assessment of four decades of outersuburbanization in three french urban areas from a rail-orienteddevelopment perspective
Imitate Kassel ? Railway services an ordinaryworkingday – September 2011 In a radius of 25 kilometersaround the limits of the agglomeration
Methodology • The example of Kassel and five french urban areas • Corine Land Cover data base on land use • 25 kilometersaround the agglomeration • Two types of land use
The size distribution (Out of the agglomeration in a radius of 25 kilometersaround the agglomerationlimits)
Second part 40 years of outersuburbanization and the railways corridor : a growingmismatch ?
Rennes Amiens Share of the population growth Strasbourg
Share of the building permitsdelivered in communes in the railways corridor during the last decade
Conclusion • A relative indifferencebetween job and residential location and railways corridor • Spatial effects of outersuburbanization are different in Alsace, Bretagne and Picardie • Effects of decentralization of building permits to commune in 1982 ? • Thingscould have eendifferent if regional planning would have been more efficient : a result important in a country whose population willgrowquickly (8 millions of housing have to bebuildbefore 2030)
