Mr. Quentin Valcke, Director of Ecological Transition and Active Mobility at the Communaut\u00e9 d\u2019Agglom\u00e9ration des Deux Baies en Montreuillois, tells us more \u201cThe goal of our commitment is to prepare tomorrow\u2019s territory to meet the demands of the ZAN policy. It\u2019s about identifying the levers we need to activate in order to plan development that is more rational, more resource-efficient, and ultimately more sustainable,so we can preserve the quality of life for residents in a region that is both fragile and vulnerable. <\/p>\n In very practical terms, our objective was to equip ourselves with a tool that could help us assess the many dimensions of land-use planning\u2014one that respects the environment while providing the services our population needs.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where our cartographic observatory comes in\u2014because geomatics offers powerful analytical potential, and maps are especially effective tools for education and awareness.<\/p>\n The idea is to develop a decision-support tool and make it available to elected officials, technicians, planners, and local stakeholders. But of course, it must be backed by a real land-use and development strategy, one that meets the goals of ecological transition and carbon emission reduction.\u201d <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=”More about the ZAN challenge” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjIzNzQ3MCJ9fQ==@” _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” button_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n \u201cTogether with CLS, we developed an innovative geomatics tool that combines our local data with national datasets, giving us a dynamic and accurate view of our territory\u2014particularly in terms of land consumption and planning prospects\u2014while applying the Avoid-Reduce-Compensate (ERC) sequence to development potential.<\/p>\n The methodology can be adapted to other territories, but it requires adjusting the parameters and queries to match the specific characteristics of each area.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cVery positively. CLS supported us with their technical expertise and were attentive to our needs. The challenge with this observatory was to combine our user requirements with the technical capabilities of the tool. CLS guided us in defining what was possible, and together we built the observatory. <\/p>\n The collaboration required us to understand how geomatics could translate our territorial questions into usable queries, and on CLS\u2019s side, to integrate the specific features of our territory and embrace the iterative nature of building the tool.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A specialist in the processing and use of geographic and Earth observation data, CLS produces, verifies, analyzes, and provides land use and land cover databases over time and space for local, regional, national, and even transnational authorities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\nQuentin, can you tell us about the project?<\/h2>\n
