"Urbanism and regional planning, vectors of a sustainable society. "
Teacher: Xavier Bonnaud
Presentation of teaching
The human activities on the environment are at the origin of imbalances which can not be apprehended without taking into account the urban dimension: Indeed, the cities constitute today the model of installation on the planet of XXI century. Although strongly responsible for the current disruptions, cities must also be considered as malleable constructions, open to changes in lifestyles and supports of many levers of intervention.
From the observation of concrete situations, this teaching proposes to deepen the way in which town planning, architecture, regional planning, can be put at the service of a reorientation of the society towards a more durable future.
Starting from the study of specific development projects in the areas of mobility, energy and resources or new relations between cities and nature, as well as on new ways of working, producing and consuming in the city, the works will aim to decipher the springs and potentialities of town planning and spatial planning. It will be a question of conducting a survey on a vector of evolution, of questioning its contours, of presenting its capacities.
The requirements of sustainable development not only lead us to produce the knowledge of identifying a crisis context: they commit to promoting multiple proposals, each anchored in a precise territorial scale, defined in relation to the particularities of an environment and its multiple dynamics, as with the global challenges of globalization.
Work organization
This work will focus on the study of innovative projects. The papers will always start from a specific theme or a real development project to decipher the processes and performances, taking into account the variety of areas of intervention (technical, ecological, cultural, social, aesthetic , economic, mode of governance, etc.) that come together within the urban factory.
