Duration :  20h Th
Credits/ECTS :  
Advanced Master in Urban and Regional PlanningDeuxième quadrimestre2
Holder(s) :  Claude Feltz, Jean‑Marie Halleux
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  The course is dealing with the processes and tools of territorial development. The analyses are developed at the regional and local scales, in order to highlight the relationships between planning and development disposals. It is centred on a prospective approach, articulating the territorial management according to its expected and controlled effects on the sustainable development of places.
The course brings the theoretical bases necessary to the knowledge of the leverages effects and territorial synergies.
It examines the policies and tools of planning and economic development since the European scale, the regional scale (with SDER but also the actions of the CAW and the Marshall plan) and the local communal and supra-communal scales (in articulation with the local tools).
Course objective :  At the end of the course, the student must be able:
- to understand the processes of territorial synergies (agglomeration effects, leverage effects,...),
- to identify the contexts where those processes can be implemented,
- to elaborate proposals able to create territorial synergies,
- to critically evaluate the synergistic capacities of the proposals.
Prerequisites :  Courses « Localisation des entreprises » and « Urbanisme et aménagement, Partie 1 »
Organization :  The course integrates the theory and the exercises in a general approach where each student is directly implied via seminars (12h) and personal exercises (8h). Personal work consists in the realization of a research where an action of territorial development is critically analysed at the light of the theoretical developments.
Written notes :  PowerPoint presentations related to the seminars.
Assessment :  The work is co-evaluated by the two professors on the basis of the students works (written report and oral presentation).
