Description

Even though territorial energy plans are becoming essential within energy transition policies, their linkage with performing devices such as land development projects is still poorly understood. This article analyzes the dynamics of translation between territorial strategies and energy-related choices operated in urban development projects. Focusing on the trajectory of heating-supply choices in one urban development project in Bordeaux (France), we highlight the various roles played by the energy strategy within the project activity, and reveal how local planners proceed with translation work in order to integrate strategic directions into processes that are mainly driven by operational concerns.

Abstract (French)

A l'heure ou les planifications energetiques territoriales deviennent des points de passage obliges pour les politiques de transition energetique, leur articulation aux dispositifs d'action que constituent les projets d'amenagement du territoire reste mal connue. Nous proposons dans cet article une lecture dynamique de la traduction des strategies territoriales dans les choix energetiques operes au sein des projets d'amenagement urbain. L'analyse de la trajectoire des choix d'approvisionnement en chaleur de la ZAC Saint-Jean Belcier, a Bordeaux, nous permet de faire ressortir les differents roles joues par la strategie energetique dans l'activite de projet, et de mettre en evidence le travail de traduction effectue par les planificateurs pour integrer leurs orientations strategiques dans des dynamiques guidees principalement par des preoccupations operationnelles.
