| Course contents : | The course is made of two major parts: - location of industry (15h); - location of services (15h). In both parts, the following issues will be taken into account: new constraints induced by technological, economic and social changes, location trends (at various scales), key location principles and location optimization principles. Concerning services, four main sectors will be more deeply studied: retail, public services, tourism and services to firms. Two days of fieldworks in Brussels and Liège will lead to the confrontation between theory on the one hand and practical realization and operator's behaviour on the other hand. | ||||||||
