Les plans de déplacements urbains français (PDU) et les plans urbains de trafic italiens (PUT), au-delà des différences de procédure

Abstract

The French urban transport plan (PDU) and the Italian urban traffic plans (PUT) are tools for thinking about movement in the city. Set up at either the scale of the city or the whole urbanized area, their objective is to promote public transport and the least polluting forms of transportation. If the objectives of the two plans are identical, they present notable differences in the way they were worked out. Whereas the PDU is only a strategic document, the Italian law has anticipated that the PUT would actually intervene in the city at several scales. This organization in «nested doll» fashion facilitates information and dialogue with the population and the stages of public inquiry advocated in France and Italy.
