VALLÉE DE LA CHIMIE AGENDA 21
Since 2007, lyon metropole and the municipalities of saint-fons, feyzin, pierre-bénite, lyon 7e and solaize have embarked on an innovative collective approach to bring together all the territory’s stakeholders around the challenges of sustainable development. The vallée de la chimie agenda 21’s common thread is as follows:
« to equitably and sustainably share the territory ».
The plan helps to answer crucial questions of acceptability and sustainable coexistence between all of the area’s users.
TOWARDS RESPONSIBLE AND CONNECTED MOBILITY
THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE VALLÉE DE LA CHIMIE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR BOTH THE AREA’S MUNICIPALITIES AND COMPANIES
The improvements made on the TCL lines and the shared tools that have been developed (carpooling platform, various experiments, etc.) show the importance of collaborating at Vallée level and conveying a common message to SYTRAL or the Region, for example. Bringing the stakeholders together allows to speak with one voice about commuting needs in the area and provides more leverage in discussions with institutional partners.
Various actions have been carried out as part of Lyon Vallée de la Chimie’s Intercompany Travel Plan (PDIE): improving public transport services, carpooling, promoting active modes (walking, cycling, scooters, etc.), challenges, teleworking, etc. In addition, as Lyon Vallée de la Chimie is a territory of experimentation and innovation par excellence, various experimentation projects, such as dynamic carpooling, have been carried out within the PDIE framework.
THE SECURENOV PROGRAM
TECHNOLOGICAL RISK PREVENTION PLANS (PPRT) REGULATE THE COEXISTENCE BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL RISK AREAS AND LOCAL RESIDENTS.
THE LYON METROPOLE SUPPORTS OWNERS OF AFFECTED HOMES IN CARRYING OUT THE MANDATORY WORK TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES.

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LANDSCAPE OBSERVATORY
THE CAUE RHÔNE-MÉTROPOLE (ARCHITECTURE, URBAN PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VALLÉE DE LA CHIMIE TASK FORCE AND INDEPENDENT PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID DESALEUX, STARTED A PHOTOGRAPHIC LANDSCAPE OBSERVATORY OF THE LYON VALLÉE DE LA CHIMIE TERRITORY IN 2018.
The photographic landscape observatory allows to follow the evolution of landscapes over time, through the successive re-photography of a certain number of viewpoints on a given territory. This way signs can be tracked that allow following the changes in the area and to better understand them. As Lyon Vallée de la Chimie territory is part of the industrial, urban and natural landscape, it will be a groundbreaking observatory treating fields that are rarely observed in the context of national photographic landscape observatories.
This observatory allows for a significant participatory component and brings together different audiences: those who plan and observe the territory, those who administer it and those who work in and experience it on a daily basis.
