Abstract
This article charts the changing context of urban policy in France, outlines the background to the implementation of the Zones Franches Urbaines (ZFU) and examines the implementation and impact of Zones Franches at a national level and locally through the case study of Roubaix in the Nord Pas de Calais region. Using both aggregate national and case study data, the article evaluates the policy objectives of Zones Franches in terms of what has been actually achieved both nationally and in the case study area, highlighting the importance of local context and circumstance of implementation, rather than the fundamental structure of ZFU policy, for successful outcomes.
