This article aims to reflect on the complex process of the legislation on the control of urbanization, which is the result of a willingness of the authorities to ensure effective industrial development while learning from past experiences of industrial disasters. The article will focus on Technological Risk Prevention Plan (TRPP), a recently developed tool which populations living near high-risk facilities can use to carry out assessments to protect their homes from risk. Although financial support has been the subject of much debate, this situation reflects the outcome of a process that leads to consider these territories as a whole. The first results of this research suggest that today industry and residents can work together to make the most of a situation which involves living in risk.}}
