Project title:
Strengthening links between urban and rural inhabitants
Summary of project idea:
LAG’s objective is to strengthen links between those different areas existing inside the same population catchment area, in order to create synergy between urban and rural areas.
Local context in which
the project is going to operate (starting situation):
Almost 100 000 inhabitants live in Centre Saone-et-Loire LAG which shows two different identities: an industrial and coal mining one but also a rural one. Steel industry and coal mines shaped cities and some landscapes, and attracted a considerable population. After a glorious past during industrial revolution, the area faced a serious crisis leading to the end of coal extraction. Today, industry is regaining dynamism and our coal basin is restructuring its economy towards services sector, but unemployment remains high. The area also displays a marked rural physionomy, characterized by hilly hedged farmland full of rustic charm and some beautiful villages. Charolais beef meet production dominates rural economy. The Centre Canal links urban / rural and industrial /natural parts of the area
Project objectives, target group and activities:
LAG’s objective is to strengthen links between those different areas existing inside the same population catchment area, in order to create synergies between urban and rural areas.
