The criticisms brought against public consultation procedures for large infrastructure projects in France have lead to a debate on the objectives of transportation policies, the rationality of how they are evaluated, and the setting up of concertation procedures. In view of the question raised by a worn-out, sector based referential, the State has responded with a renewal of planning dialectics. On the one hand, the strategic coherence of transport policies has been reconsidered; on the other, procedures for choice and concertation have been made more democratic. The government circular dated 15 December 1992 reorganized the handling of projects so as to ensure a social legitimatization for decision-making at each step of the process. This circular completed the definition of a new normative matrix for public action in the realm of transportation by adding a more democratic and pluralistic aspect; this was necessary for the functions of concertation and apprenticeship in planning. However, recent application of this process has been faulted with having shifted to the plan- ning-stage debate those flaws which had already been criticized in public inquiries: in action, this procedure tends to reproduce existing practicies rather than to renew them. Nevertheless, the good point here may be to have brought out into the open the contradiction which results when attempting to find a common definition for the territory of a project which is acceptable to all the protagonists.
