Abstract

Abstract : Agriculture versus economic development : an unequal fight or a question of new policies for the peri-urban area. From an economic point of view, agriculture is an activity of relatively minor importance in the Grenoble urban region, a region above all renowned for its strong technological development. However, in the regions master plan approved in 2000, farming occupies an essential position. To understand the role of peri-urban agriculture in the preparation of the development plan for the urban region, it is important to specify the different functions that have been assigned to it and to analyse the diverse ways that agriculture has been taken into account in the preparation of regional plans at both the communal and inter- communal level. Agriculture is a key issue in peri-urban planning policies, involving local government officials, planners, and representatives of the farming community.
