Summary

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.


Commercial Development




Commercial Urban Planning Master Plan (SDUC)

 

The SDUC is the retail zoning plan that sets out the main commercial development policies of Greater Lyon.

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.
