How to integrate the management of financial, environmental, social and political risks in the planning, financing and construction of transport infrastructures ?

Résumé

Evidence shows that numerous metropolitan areas are currently trying to develop sustainable urban and transport planning practices (Montreal, Grand Paris, etc). This particular context calls for the planning, assessment, financing and building of transport infrastructures. However, these measures may require adaptations to traditional planning practices based on technical solutions because they generally do not receive public approval, result in additional costs and delays, an do not fully meet the project objectives. This paper focuses on the following research question : what planning, financing and building practices (adapted to this new context) can be highlighted in France ? Three French mega urban transport projects have been studied : the TGV Méditerranée (high speed train), the Millau viaduct, and Météor (automatic metro line in Paris). The analysis concentrates on good practices (and their limits) that integrate the financial, technical, environmental, political and social risks as well as the uncertainties linked to this context. The three case studies reveal that the sustainable planning of urban infrastructuree appear to require that the technical project be adapted to a local level. The integration of social risk in the decision making process through the use of public debate results, where applicable, in the highlighting of particular public demands as well as, in certain cases, local, environmental or socio-economic problems. Cooperation between institutional players at different levels appears to be useful in the detailing of a global transport infrastructures planning and land use policy that, for example, encourages the densification of constructions around transport infrastructures. The logic of integrating risks into the decision making and planning process appears to be relevant in attempting to find solutions to occasionally contradictory sustainabily issues. For example, the economic and environmental success of the Millau viaduct is largely due to the quality of the public private partnership developed between State departments and the private sector.
