Learning unit contents
The urban and territorial governance course covers the processes of coordination of actors, social groups and institutions in the context of urban interventions and territorial dynamics. It puts into perspective the different forms of regulation that can be observed in this context.
The course sessions devoted to case studies will analyse the Guillemins district project in Liège (Belgium), the Ile de Nantes project (France), the Mégamusée project and the Seraing master plan (Belgium).
The theoretical course sessions will cover the challenges and theories of urban and territorial governance, local and regional territorial reforms, governance tools mobilized in the dynamics of governance, supracommunal institutions and their spatial dynamics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the student masters the notions of urban and territorial governance through a theoretical learning illustrated with concrete cases.
He is able to interpret critically and systemically the role and status of different actors and tools in the production of the territory and urban projects. It captures the contexts and governance issues at different scales (building, urban area, region).
