Through this document, we want to address ourselves to the mayors of small and medium size municipalities, often less equiped and advised, and somewhat unprepared in front of the challenge of sustainable developement that is to be translated into actions. We initially consulted mayors and planning services in alrge cities like Montpellier, Bordeaux; Mulhouse - whom we especially thank- in order to see how their studies, tools and practices were transferable to smaller communities. we also met with the mayors of more modest municipalities whose pioneering initiatives and appraches convinced us that sustainable development and accountable architecture for all are possible!
You will find herewith a series of propossals drawn from our studies and consultations that we hope are both useful and constructive. We address them to all those who, like us, want to take up this formidable challenge.
