title: [Local actions in health: from healthy city workshops to local health contracts].
abstract: After 10 years of partnership with the main towns within the department of Bouches du Rhône, France, in order to develop ‘ateliers santé ville’ [healthy city workshops], the department’s territorial delegation for the regional health agency of Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur set up a ‘contrats locaux de santé’ (CLS) [local health contracts] scheme, with the goal of shifting from a local health programming and planning process to a cross-cutting process involving all of the related fields in health. The healthy city workshops, through 10 years of working together with towns, enabled the establishment of habits of partnership for joint processes, as well as a solid level of knowledge of the field of prevention. The transition to a more cross-cutting approach involving all health-related fields will be facilitated by this rich shared experience. The CLS is both a challenge for regional health agencies and a tangible manifestation of the new concept of ‘animation territoriale’ [grass-roots programming].
