Yverdon will strengthen its landscape qualities

Yverdon-les-Bains will have 7,000 more inhabitants than today in 2040. And a dozen new districts to accommodate them. It is at least this long -term vision – at the center of which the concepts of nature, culture, physical activities and social cohesion are around – that the municipality has for the city.

This urban development may be considerable (+23%) for a city which currently has 30,300 souls, it is deemed “digestible” by the Cosyndique Écologiste, Carmen Tanner. Mainly because it is based on four freshly drawn or reviewed key documents: municipal master plan, town planning regulations, master plan for public and active land political spaces.

Fruits of long -term work, they were Presented to the press this Tuesday. Interconnected, these four planning objects have a common denominator a desire to strengthen the existing qualities of Yverdon and the landscaped frame that the city has. While following the prerequisites of the Planning Planning Act (LAT) which advocates building the city on the city rather than proceeding territorial spraying.

Green for Yverdon-les-Bains

On the ground, two new districts could give a relatively quickly body to this overview of which the town planning service now has.

North of the city, Green (Project which will be subject to the preliminary examination of the canton this summer) will make an activity area cohabit and a district of housing, separated by a large wooded park. Perhaps even faster, the dilapidated hangars of the site of The old-stud (behind the station) will be replaced by buildings built in islets. The green parks that will grow in their center will offer a relaxation space to the 900 inhabitants expected here.

In both cases, the city responds to one of the ambitions frozen in its new Public Spaces plan: “Offer to each Yverdonois A quality green space maximum five minutes from his home. ” This is what the urban planner Adrian Knöpfel recalled.

A climate plan to respect

These places are also in line with the objectives of the climate plan which should lead, initially, to the rapid modification of some key articles of the town planning regulations. “For new constructions, the owners will have to provide plots with at least 50% vegetated area,” said urban planner Magali Henry.

In the same vein, large companies (from 50 employees) must imperatively present a mobility plan, while the owners of buildings built in the districts well served by public transport will no longer be required to provide park spaces.
