To make this choice, the Region takes into account criteria which depend on the state of buildings and public places, as well as the social situation of the inhabitants. This is done in association with every municipality.

The elaboration of a district contract is done in 2 major steps:

• The period of preparation
• The period of starting the actions

The period of preparation

The period of preparation (a duration of 9 months) is based upon 2 parts: the basic study and the program for the project.

The basic study consists in elaborating a diagnosis of the situation of the district and indicating priority actions to be led there. The composition of the basic study is the following:

• Actual situation: statement of the physical state of the district
• Legal situation: statement of the particular development plans, urbanistic prescriptions and requested permits
• Analysis by subject and diagnosis: social and economic 'vitality' of the district
• Priorities for the elaboration of the program

The program for the project describes all the actions which will be realized. If an action does not appear on this program, it cannot be realized.

Composition of the program:

• Plan of the perimeter, with location of the various actions
• Mention of the subsidized public and private real-estate operations, during the last ten years
• List of the buildings and their possible occupants, concerned by the various actions
• Description of acquisitions and works to be realized for every action
• Master plan clarifying the nature of the actions and the annual calendar of their realization
• Description of the social measures
• Financial plan established over 4 years
• Report on the situation and the evolution of the real-estate market, accompanied by the measures intended to avoid speculation
• Protection program for the real estate property

The period of starting the actions

The actions take 4 years. This period is possibly prolonged by 2 supplementary years to finish the last construction sites.
