Politique de la ville: le zonage comme outil d’identification de la fracture sociale

Pierre Madec and Christine Rifflart

Revue économique, 2016, vol. 67, issue 3, 443-462

Abstract: The recent reform of the geography of the urban policy, established by the ?Loi de programmation pour la ville et la cohésion urbaine,? aims for better identifying the most deprived areas by putting in place a simpler and more objective zoning based on the concentration of low-income households.?It actually saves consistency and results in a more homogeneous priority card because the single criterion of income managing captures relatively well the other socioeconomic characteristics of neighborhoods.?But, due to the existence of too great territorial differences, this new zoning can?t be the only tool to solve the French ?social divide.??The new priority geography continues thus to target areas with important economic development gaps.?Similarly, the degrees of remoteness of neighborhoods in cities, although made more homogeneous, remain various.?Therefore, given the significant differences that persist between areas, the establishment of criteria for prioritization and finer differentiation seems essential in order to improve the effectiveness of public action.
