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 at both, the regional level and the local level.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
At the end of the course, the student must be able:
- to understand the processes of territorial synergies (agglomeration effects, leverage effects, ...),

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
The course integrates the theory and the exercises in a general approach where each student is directly implied via lectures (9h), seminars with researchers active in the field of territorial development (3h) 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.
