Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Support local governance choices
• Integrate the different expectations of stakeholders involved in the environment, urban planning and regional development
• Analyse the dynamics of the creation and transformation of areas: referring to theories, historical processes, constraints and potential, the interplay of stakeholders, and the various relevant spatial and temporal scales in order to identify the issues and set out forward-looking scenarios
• Identify the various working hypotheses in relation to an urban planning problem and linked to urban and rural policy
• Master the issues of spatial adaptation and transformation
• Identify and articulate the different components making up an urban or territorial context
• Master the contemporary societal challenges of spatial planning
• Draw up a critical and personal analysis of theories and practices, while demonstrating ability and the development of personal skills to enter the professional world and the debate on the future of cities and regions
• Explain, through critical analysis, the political and methodological nature of sustainable urbanism and reflect on how planners work effectively within democratic decision-making structures

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this workshop "Programming outline: analysis and management issues", students will be able to:
- Determine a territory significantly,
- Take a position by diagnosis,
- State territorial issues arising from this diagnosis,
- Create links between the stated territorial issues and more generalized socio-ecological issues (land artificialization, water cycle, preservation of biodiversity, social inclusion, etc.)
- Define project objectives with regard to the statement of these issues,
- Develop a strategy to meet these objectives,
- Decline this strategy, through one or more programming scenarios that guarantee socio-environmental quality,
- Propose avenues relating to the feasibility of these scenarios (actors, tools, phasing).

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The workshop offers an inductive methodology, concerned with an economy of means, provoking the diagnosis before formally producing a draft of the project where landscape, urban planning and architectural intentions become inseparable.
Throughout the method, marked out by a survey, a diagnosis, the statement of the issues, the objectives, the strategy, the programming scenarios, the feasibility avenues of these scenarios, the teachers will support the students in developing a reflective approach. linked to awareness of the socio-ecological impacts of urbanization projects.

Raising awareness of human impacts on our planet is aimed at future urban planners, since in 2018, the United Nations Environment Program recognized that the building sector produces 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, to which it It is appropriate to add those due to travel (20%) and agriculture (28%), for a total of 88%.

To this end, interdisciplinary work will be favored. Discussions are indeed to be carried out between students from bachelor's or master's degrees in architecture, bioengineering, geography, landscape, ecological and social sciences to design places in space combining human uses and ways of living with quality ecological habitats ( minimal mineralization of the soil, quality vegetation, integration of the water cycle, etc.). Ecological urban planning calls for careful urban planning. Managing a territory involves taking care of what is already there, of nature, of the geographical site and its landscapes, of the soil and its reliefs, and horizons towards the sky, of inherited places and habitats (Bailly, 2022).
