Description
Summary:The so-called ‘Cornudet’ law of 1919, amended in 1924, which obliged certain towns to provide themselves with plans for their future extension, improvement and development, may be regarded as the forerunner of French urban planning law. The law covered five types of towns across national territory. In Auvergne, 29 met the criteria set for four out of the five types. Attempts were made to show that the law was being applied in all 29 of the towns in question, with collections of archives assembled bearing witness to the discussion it had given rise to among national and local authorities and inhabitants. Some municipalities showed themselves eager to get down to work, while others were rather more hesitant, even reluctant. Some inhabitants taking part in public surveys had a good deal to say on the subject, while others seemed more or less indifferent.
