This study aims at deepening and enriching existing methods of evaluation of transport policies. Such an objective can be achieved with, on the one hand the analysis of space changes in the North-Pas-de-Calais area due to the new transport infrastructures that have been planned and, on the other hand, the analysis of actor strategies which are being developed. The maturity of the European single market, the implementation both of the Channel tunnel and of the North TGV (High Speed Rail-way), as well as the motorway programmes altogether symbolize a major stake for the North-Pas-de-Calais area. Thus, although it cannot claim to be right at the European crisscross, this area is yet right at a crisscross of opportunities. The strategies that have been developed by decision makers in terms of politics and economics are very important indeed. As a matter of fact, it is in the very confrontation of these strategies that the North-Pas-de-Calais area's future is taking shape.
