Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Heart of Town_National Programme to Revitalise Centres in 222 Medium Cities

The National Action Plan Heart of City meets a dual ambition: to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of medium-sized cities and to strengthen their role as a driving force in the development of the territory. Signs of this essential structuring role: 23 % of the French population live in medium-sized cities," and 26 % of total employment in France is concentrated. These cities are sources of economic, heritage, cultural and social dynamism, but sometimes face difficulties of attractiveness, degraded housing or commercial vitality, for example. Developed in consultation with elected representatives and economic actors in the territories, the Action Plan Heart of City aims to facilitate and support the work of local authorities, to encourage housing and urban planning actors to reinvest in city centres, to promote the maintenance or implementation of activities in the heart of the city in order to improve living conditions in medium-sized cities.
