“Public Policies, Cities and Regions” workshop

“Public Policies, Cities and Regions” workshop

Lyon, December 14-15, 2017.

Public policies are often closely related to urban and regional issues. Place-based policies such as enterprise zone or industrial cluster policies, but also local public policies, are by nature spatially differentiated. Moreover, many national public policies related to the housing market (e.g. tax incentives for rental investment), land use (e.g. zoning policies) and environment (e.g. protected areas) use delineation rules to target specific types of locations or agents.
This workshop gathers original research papers shedding some light on the issues raised by these public policies for urban and regional economies.
