When conceiving an urban development project, it should first be considered how it will transform the area in question. Numerous regional observatories, in which IAURIF plays a role, were created to monitor urban phenomena, identify determining factors in urban development, isolate mechanisms, etc.

Regional Observatory of Land in Ile-de-France :

• Regional observatory of land -ORF-
• Regional Observatory of Health in Ile-de-France -ORSIF-
• Paris Region Rent Observatory -OLAP-  

The IAU île-de-France always encouraged networking and partnership.
From skills and experiences exchange arose a reflection resulting in action and projects.
For several years the network was widened to foreign partners of the metropolises.
