INTA Congress “Exit, Voice,
Loyalty/Metropolises: development strategies and alliances”, 6-10 November 2011,
Lyon & Grenoble, France
Invited by two French regional metropolises, Grand Lyon and
Grenoble Alpes Metropole, INTA35 will question the development strategies of
these intermediate territories. Often their plans are not adequate to face the
challenges of the global economy; regional metropolises are in need of
innovative instruments and policies to make their development process more
effective. As part of the INTA on-going debates on change and transformation of
the urban development process, our 35th Congress is a unique occasion to
confront the worldwide experiences and practices of regional metropolises in
delivering a higher level of welfare for their inhabitants, to better understand
the dynamics at work, to reduce the uncertainty to change, and to respond
pragmatically to questions vis-à-vis the future.
