Diagnosis
Description of tool - character
A diagnosis which approaches sustainable development dimensions has been established on the whole project (150 ha). The aim of this diagnosis is to analyse through the set of sustainable development prescriptions the actual potential of the site and the urban long term and short term projects with a cross sector view (a multidisciplinary concept). Weaknesses and strengths are then highlighted from this analysis through each criteria.
This diagnosis has been established by a private consultant (called TRIBU). The criteria chosen have been determined in relation with the context of the project and the skills of the consultant. This partnership has improved the overall situation as the developer organisation was asking to open its knowledge in regard with the sustainability.

Global Approach
Description of tool - character
Global Approach is implementing the following tools:
- An agreement on sustainable objectives: Framework document which defines the procedures to implement. It is established by the developer contractor for all the different actors that will have an action on the area (Business companies, etc…),
- Sustainable Development Specifications: document which gathers several prescriptions for the implementation of a sustainable development approach at the operational scale and which takes into consideration permanent features,
- The creation of validation entities: the creation of the Co-ordination Committee of Sustainable Development (Developer, Greater Lyon staff, coordinators) and also working groups on technical subjects.
These working groups have focussed actions on energy, storm water, and waste fields (other sectors have been assessed as less important). These working groups are essentially technical and the Developer brings the cross sector view of the project and links the several subjects involved.

Urbanisation Procedure
Description of tool - character
The chosen procedure for the development is called “Concerted Development Zone”. This is a public procedure based on concerted objectives and is dependent of an area. It allows public entities to carry out the land development in order to give it up at a later date to public or private users. It allows also operating on the different sectors that create the life in the area: housing, public spaces, roads, economic development etc. It is created, controlled and carried out by the urban community (here the Greater Lyon) in partnership with the local private economic actors that will be part of the area. This approach allows ensuring the global operation of the site.
The document allows the status of Concerted Zone Development, voted by the Greater Lyon, and includes a construction programme, a public infrastructures programme and financing methods. The legal frame of the Concerted Development Zone offers opportunities to allocate to public equipments financing, money obtained from construction rights and lands sale.
The land assignment act (see appendix 2) usually includes architectural and urban specifications and will include in this development project specifications related to sustainability.
