Croissance pavillonnaire et rétention foncière dans la banlieue grenobloise

Abstract

Abstract. — In the last dozen years, the agglomeration of the city of Grenoble has experienced, as many other cities, an important spatial growth in the form of a suburban residential area. However, Grenoble is experiencing along with this growth, a continuingly increasing problem of a lack of land on which to build. In the Grésivaudan, the valley just to the north-east of the city of Grenoble, the plan for urban expansion does preview sufficient space to satisfy, at short term, this mode of urbanization. This lack of available land derives itself above all from the retention of property by the original owners for multifaceted reasons.
