The MOT’s contribution at the conference "Spatial planning in the Franco-Swiss Jura Arc"

On 23 January 2020, the MOT took part in the conference "Spatial planning in the Franco-Swiss Jura Arc", held in La Chaux-de-Fonds (CH) within the framework of the Interreg V – ARC-AD programme.

As well as being an opportunity to share views on spatial planning issues in the cross-border territory, the purpose of the conference was to present the ARC-AD tool, a decision-making tool designed to facilitate the coordination of territorial planning across the Jura Arc.

The MOT, represented by Aurélien Biscaut, made a contribution in order to present other experiences and tools along France’s borders, and in particular the cross-border cooperation strategy of the Nice Metropolis, and the tools and approaches developed in the Greater Region. It also saluted the ARC-AD initiative, which is a rare one in cross-border settings, but very necessary: "We need to observe to understand, and to understand in order to act."
