| Course contents : | This 30 hour course does not attempt to provide students with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the subject, but rather to provide them with the necessary tools to become architects who are able to take on their role as agents in a social setting. This is why, after having presented the main outline of sociology, its particularities in terms of the social sciences, its objectives and methods, we will attempt to show how these elements can be used to study urban life - that moment when the town transforms itself in order to move progressively from an urbanisation regime to a metropolisation regime. This leads us to see the main research themes of urban sociology and the perspectives which appear to stem from its analysis. |
