| Criterion (iv): By virtue of the particular manner in which it has developed spatially, Lyon illustrates in an exceptional way the progress and evolution of architectural design and town planning over many centuries. | UNESCO |
| The site of Lyon presents high authenticity through the permanence of three principal characteristics that define its town planning, the development of which is unique: the confluence, the coherence of the urban model and urbanity. | UNESCO |
| Moreover, Lyon represents, with its urban construction of more than two millennia, a development of its unique town planning: instead of rebuilding on itself, the city progressively expanded towards the east, thus conserving all the forms of town planning of the different eras alongside each other. | UNESCO |
| Furthermore, the town planning models and the architectural styles developed and improved over the centuries and continued to evolve without interruption. | UNESCO |
| With its unusual town planning, the city has always been characterised by important human occupation, still evident today. | UNESCO |
| Its principal goal is the integration of heritage management with the town planning project and awareness raising of the values of the heritage and cultural project. | UNESCO |
