France
Résumé
France is known as a highly centralized country. In fact, the centralist approach applied to the field of urban planning after the Second World War until the end of the twentieth century. However, in 1982 and 1983, a set of decentralization laws changed the situation. With these laws, numerous prerogatives were transferred from the State level to the local and supra local level, including controls and responsibilities in urban planning. As a result, local and supra local authorities became the main actors in planning. In particular, they became responsible for the elaboration of the legally binding local land use plan. Still, these local land use plans must be consistent with national laws and obligations dealing with risk and environmental issues or social housing provision.
