Gare au standard ! Les nouveaux quartiers de gare TGV, produit d’appel pour des territoires en mal de reconnaissance ?

Abstract

For the last decade , in large cities , urban regeneration projects of dilapidated areas surrounding high-speed train stations have been a “must have” for public policies. Over time, those areas have become a highly valued, multi-facetted asset greatly helping declining cities to regain attractiveness. Precisely because they are standardized , those urban projects are reassuring both public authorities and private stakeholders for novel financing, especially in shrinking cities. But even if standard projects were viewed as a “miracle formula” for a while, they are now considered as a necessary but not sufficient step to boost urban growth.
