Abstract
Saint-Étienne Métropole has initiated an approach aimed at building a land strategy to anticipate and plan its land actions. Under multiple pressures, including between stakeholders, metropolitan areas must indeed transition to land sobriety approaches (Cerema, 2022). Saint-Étienne Métropole wishes to support its reflection with a scientific approach in order to take into account in its choices both socio-economic, regulatory and ecological issues, with a view to limiting the consumption of agricultural and natural spaces. The research question underlying this thesis is that of defining a process for developing the land strategy of a local authority, subject to social, economic, environmental and political issues and yet having to face this paradigm shift. The thesis will be supervised in an original manner, combining engineering sciences and social sciences and humanities, through the mobilization of the two Saint-Étienne components of UMR 5600 Environnement Ville Société: Mines Saint-Étienne and Université Jean Monnet.
