Cultural Atlas of the cross-border Lille metropolis and the Northern mining area

This Atlas of cultural facilities covers the cross-border Lille metropolis and the mining area of the Nord-Pas-De-Calais. It makes an inventory of over 1800 cultural structures and facilities in an area containing more than 3 million inhabitants.

On the eve of Lille 2004, European capital for culture, there is an ambitious move to inform on the cultural richness of these areas.

The interactive aspect of the Atlas enables you to locate on a map, at various scales, the cultural facilities and structures classified by domain (theatre, dance, classical music and opera, concert halls, museums, etc.).

This Atlas has been established by the “Agence de développement et d'urbanisme de Lille Métropole” and the “Mission Bassin minier”, with the support of the Belgian communes and inter-communes of the COPIT area (Conférence Permanente Intercommunale Transfrontalière). It resumes and completes the previous work done by the “Agence”, especially the work published by the COPIT in 2001, in it’s journal n°16.

The “Mission” and the “Agence” invites you to consult and use this tool. They rely on you to make it “live”, by this we mean that it will benefit from the corrections and improvements that you might suggest. This feedback will provide a basis for defining the needs and the future evolution method of this Atlas
Therefore, do not hesitate to contact the “Mission” and the “Agence” to let us know what feedback you can provide.
