The délégation interministérielle à l'aménagement du territoire et à l'attractivité régionale (English: Interministerial Delegation of Land Planning and Regional Attractiveness) or DATAR was a French administration working for the Minister of Territorial Development.
[1] In 2009, DATAR handed over its missions to the Commissariat général à l’égalité des territoires [2] (English: General Commission for Equal Territories).
[3] In the 70's, the DATAR gives funds Matra Transport to launch the development of ARAMIS, a personal rapid transit project.
[4] In the 80's, the DATAR launches a Mission photographique, whose goal is to know better the French territory by taking thousands of photographs.
In 1965, the DATAR gives funds to Jean Bertin to help him create his company, the "Société d'Etude de l'Aérotrain", which aims to build a new hovercraft train.
