Encouraging walking - Taking walking into account in urban planning documents = La prise en compte de la marche dans les documents de planification

The Schéma de Cohérence Territoriale - SCoT (Territorial Cohesion Plan), the Plan de Mobilité - PDM (Mobility Plan, formerly the Urban Travel Plan) or the Plan Local d’Urbanisme - PLU (Local urban plan, or PLUi when inter-municipal) are planning documents intended to develop, organise and develop territories sustainably. These scoping, regulatory and institutional documents, whether voluntary or mandatory, form the foundations of policies in favour of developing alternatives to the private car, in particular so-called "active" modes of travel. Insofar as walking is particularly environmentally friendly, it lies at the core of urban planning strategies.
