#BENORD COME HOME

The territory is divided into 18 municipalities, sometimes dynamic, sometimes immersed in nature. There is something for every taste !

The North is rich in its biodiversity, its historical and cultural heritage, but also in its many services and amenities that make this territory a good place to live.

Schools, sports clubs, associations, media libraries, professional support organizations, supermarkets, shops, markets, restaurants, shows are available to residents.

EXCEPTIONAL TERRITORY AND ENVIRONMENT

Marked by its authenticity, its quality of life and its diversity of activities, the north also offers a varied climate, marked by leeward and leeward coasts, thus offering picturesque landscapes.
Composed of three employment areas, the territory of the North of Martinique is shared between a rural world in the North which maintains agricultural activity and a developing urban space which continues to attract populations.

North Martinique includes 18 municipalities (i.e. 103,720 inhabitants) representing nearly a third of the population of Martinique.

The territory is divided into three micro-regions:

The North Caribbean includes eight municipalities: Bellefontaine, Case-Pilote, Fonds-Saint-Denis, Le Carbet, Le Prêcheur, Morne Rouge, Morne-Vert and Saint-Pierre.

Ajoupa Bouillon, Basse-Pointe, Grand-Rivière, Le Lorrain, Le Marigot and Macouba form the North Atlantic which consolidates its rural base and maintains agricultural activity.

The Centre-Atlantique, fully integrated into the urban area of Fort de France, now concentrates most ofthe industrial activity and the service offer of the territory. The population density in the Center-Atlantique is equivalent to that of Martinique, 338 inhab./Km², against 189 inhab./Km² for the whole of CAP Nord. (Robert, Gros-Morne, La Trinité and Sainte-Marie)

In order to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants, 4 cities benefit from the Small Towns of Tomorrow Program, set up by the government: Carbet, Saint-Pierre, La Trinité and Sainte-Marie.
