Description
Summary:The concept of sustainable development appears to be enjoying a favorable context in terms of implementation at local government level as well as European and national levels. The study of local policies in this context begs the question of their efficiency in relation to the stakes of sustainable development as well as their capacity to change in depth local policies. The aim of this paper is to analyze how it is possible in a densely populated area, i.e. the river basin district of Escaut, to demonstrate that water management is connected with sustainable development within changing local frameworks. We will also examine how the principles of sustainable development rely on proximity and determine water policy.
