Environmental and urban development plan for Dame-Marie
- The PAEEV frames Dame-Marie’s urban development around zoning, protection of natural and special agricultural areas, preservation of the old centre and structuring of extension areas.
- It identifies the road network as an essential tool for structuring future urban growth.
- The plan links local economic opportunities and municipal revenue to urban equipment, maintenance and sequenced implementation.
- The document grounds the strategy in regional and communal context, including natural hazards and the built-environment count.
This PAEEV is a municipal planning and zoning document for the borough of Dame-Marie in Grand’Anse. Produced by CIAT using work from UN-Habitat and UrbaConsulting, supplemented by field information and a building count, it sets out the regional and communal context, including environment, population, urbanization, major natural risks and the economy of Dame-Marie. It then profiles the borough’s growth, morphology, networks, facilities, everyday institutional life and natural and anthropogenic risks. The planning section defines broad orientations for development, extension and beautification. It addresses administrative limits, zoning, natural and special agricultural areas, the old centre, the economic linear corridor, structured extension zones, a new ordered extension area, road-network structuring, construction, facilities and maintenance, new economic opportunities for residents and municipal revenue, implementation sequencing and a PAEEV regulation for Dame-Marie. The document is a planning instrument rather than a completed-project report: its value is in the spatial strategy, zoning and implementation framework it provides for local urban management.
