Specific questions posed by the participants |

| Course objective : | To position the role of the architect in the overall context of land development and town planning from the perspective of sustainable development as well as with respect for the built and non-built environment. Using concrete examples, this consists of showing how the architect interacts with various actors, each intervening according to their own discipline, which leads to the evolution of the urban space.
The proposed approach will, without doubt, be one which is required for all architects with a view to correctly using their professional skills in a society which is in the process of transformation.
To encourage interest in the professions of town planner and land developer through an introduction to researching and practicing evaluation. |
