Land use planning and management of cities and different zones of industrial/commercial activities represents a major challenge today. Decision makers have to consider complex sets of constraints of different nature and to integrate wider range of risks before taking decisions and committing resources for medium and long term planning. These constraints may be of societal, economical, geo-political and even ethical nature. They need rationalizing their decisions and minimizing potential risks in order to guarantee an acceptable level of global security.

Risks could be of varying kinds: natural, man-induced, s ystemic or criminal. These different sources of risk are interacting in today’s developed societies. Subsequently, rational and optimized land use planning decision-making process can’t be guaranteed except through the development of multidisciplinary robust tools and methodologies based on full identification of risks.

Upper Normandy is known for its long history of industrial activities. Subsequently, the research in reduction of industrial risks and environmental impacts is emerging as a new technical underlying activity in the region. Upper-Normandy is engaged in supporting and encouraging the emerging research in this field and is willing to develop the relevant skills and knowledge.
