Context and objectives
The last phase of the project 'Application of spaceborne remote sensing to the identification of conurbations and analysis of the impact of major regional planning projects on the environment' was realised in 1997. This last phase has as main objective the identification of the potential uses of the Lille transborder agglomeration and of the Calais-Boulogne littoral landuse maps for country planning of this Franco-Belgian territory.
Following on from this study, the landuse map of the Franco-Belgian Lille area is one of the main sources for the project GROOtSTAD (GRensoverschrijdend Ontwikellings- en Ordeningschema voor de Frans-belgische metropole Lille - via Terra - Élaboration d'un Schéma Transfrontalier de Développement et d'Aménagement du territoire pour la métropole lilloise franco-belge).
This project is in the frame of the 'terre' program of the European Commission (DG XVI). This project works with an ascending process of planning under the control of the COPIT (Conférence Permanente Intercommunale Transfrontalière).
