As the City of Tours begins drawing up its Local Planning Scheme (PLU), Tours(s)plus, the agglomeration is issuing a plan for getting around on foot. Tours is also distinguishable for its bicycle related developments and planning.
The
«In
the shoes of Pedestrians» map
has been designed to encourage people
to prefer to walk when making small journeys. This is an
ordinary map of the city upon which are indicated walking times
between various places.
In terms of constructing cycle lanes,
the city of Tours is classified as one of the best cities according
to the
« la
France du vélo » cycling study
carried out by the FUBicy and the
city cycling club, with more than 35% of its roads boasting cycle
paths.
The City of Tours begins drawing up
its Local Planning Scheme (PLU):
« After the antique and
medieval town, the renaissance city, the «Little
Paris » era and the enormous challenge of
reconstruction, a new era has arrived, which will see Tours make
a balanced synthesis of its history and aspirations, of the
European urban model and the sustainable metropolis. »
- Jean Germain, Mayor of Tours, and Alain Devineau, Delegated
deputy for Urban Development.
