On this particular point, the operational programmes to be managed by the regional councils will include an ERDF-ESF urban policy aspect representing a minimum of 10% of the overall budgetary envelope for these programmes3. 81 2.73 5 Franche-Comté 12.34 50 Guadeloupe 37.59 27 Guyane 31.38 27 Haute-Normandie 6 regions (including two OMR) deployed more than 10% of their ERDF budgetary envelope for the theme of urban or rural regeneration (Burgundy, Centre, Champagne-Ardenne, Ile-deFrance, Guadeloupe and Guiana). 18.52 Corse Metropolitain regions : 6% OMR : 7% France : 6% 62 Champagne-Ardenne Percentage of the total ERDF budgetary envelope devoted to the theme of "Urban/rural regeneration" by region 23.04 8.95 15 Ile-de-France 19.73 31 Languedoc-Roussillon 17.94 62 Limousin 0.57 1 Lorraine 20.35 78 Martinique 22.05 56 Midi-Pyrénées - Nord-Pas-de-Calais 55.36 41 Pays de la Loire 24.73 56 Picardie 13.24 116 Poitou-Charentes - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6.45 42 Réunion 11.10 13 Rhône-Alpes 18.15 114 The overall objective of 10% will be adapted according to the scale of the urban challenges and the socio-urban disparities noted in each of the regions.
