Trading is one of the key functions of urban life. It represents a space of social encounter and a strong social connection.
To maintain a balance between the development of commercial centers on the city's edge and inner city businesses, since 1994, Greater Lyon follows a commercial urban planning master plan, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Trade and the General Council, thus creating the conditions for successful sitings.

3 key principles to guide commercial development


One constant factor: a forward-looking commercial urban planning  | Consultation between partners
|  | Consultation with economic players upstream of projects (project briefs, MAPIC trade show, meetings, etc.) |
1-Concerning central installations | Renew the principle of giving priority to town-center and neighborhood trade, sedentary and non-sedentary.
|  | Encourage the preservation, reinforcement and reinvigoration of the existing network through denser urban polarities
|  | Allow the creation of new centers, as long as: |
- they are in the urban area,
- they fit in with the urban renewal plan,
- they concern either emerging needs (leisure, for example), or are complementary to the existing supply.
2 - Concerning peripheral installations | No creation of new centers out of nothing.
|  | Maintain the principle of fully utilizing the surfaces on the city's edge, regardless of whether they are isolated or part of a center.
|  | Take into account the need to renovate certain peripheral centers. Within this context, apply the principle of boosting to a certain degree the existing commercial offer, by implementing a real refurbishment and modernization effort. Nevertheless, these actions must preserve a balanced economic situation, both in the consumer pool in question and the whole conurbation |
3 - Concerning competition  | Introduce the principle of refusing the evolution of any monopoly or dominant situation, in order to maintain the diversity of the offer at all levels: territory, distribution type, concepts, activities, brands. |
