AThe second issue of Econographe contributes to this mission in the context of the revision of the territorial consistency master plan (so-called SCoT) of the French Flanders-Dunkirk area. AGUR, in partnership with Communauté urbaine de Dunkerque (the greater Dunkirk) and Communauté de communes de Hauts de Flandre (the upper Flanders Federation of municipalities), is publishing a new issue of this collection of indicators and analyses destined to economic and political stakeholders wishing to better understand the territory. Given the geographical position of Dunkirk, the economic approaches of this document are obviously on a large scale.
