If, from the start, in his report to the government on Tuesday afternoon, Philippe Gustin recalls the rules - "the State cannot replace the community, which alone has jurisdiction over town planning, construction and development" - he understands that the latter “can provide support within the framework of project management assistance”.
For the interdepartmental delegate, "the shooting window is very small" and "the next six capital months". He thus reminds the government which has expressed "its wish to draw the full lessons from Irma and to support an exemplary reconstruction", that the task promises to be delicate in view of "the urgency and legitimate pressures from local actors" . But to the latter, he opposes that "one of the challenges will be to take the time necessary to conduct useful studies and reflections". "The multiplicity of stakeholders and actors, the pressure of disaster victims to find a normal life and their habitat before the cyclone and the absence of consultation and collective reflection could quickly lead to irrelevant choices", considers Philippe Gustin.
