Changes in food landscapes in 4 districts of Montpellier: what levers for urban planning?

Abstract

what levers do the city have to act on urban food landscapes? Food is not a usual field of action for urban planning. However, by tracing the development of food shops in four very different neighbourhoods of the Métropole de Montpellier, we identified various municipal interventions which had sometimes direct, but mostly indirect, effects on the food landscapes of these districts. These results underline the usefulness of a shared diagnosis, the cross-cutting nature of the actions to be carried out, mobilising different sectoral policies. In a former damaged moorland being renovated, in a collective political housing district of the city, in a district created via an ZAC in the 2000s and in two peri-urban villages, the issue is always formulated in the same way: maintain a diversity of small shops involved in neighbourhood life. Two areas of municipal action are mainly mobilised: open wind markets (recently created or upgraded in the four neighbourhoods) and the development of public spaces and circulations. However, beyond these two areas, municipalities can act on business premises and on relations between actors in the food system, consumers and those involved in urban production. Street landscape analysis and observation of historical developments in food businesses are two simple methods of identifying concrete avenues for action by involving traders and consumers.
