This lecture covers the integration of urgent issues, such as climate change adaptation, in urban master planning. It explores tools and methods for aligning urban planning and mobility policies, using the example of the Porto-Novo Green City project in Benin. The lecture delves into the strategic positioning of Porto-Novo within a coastal conurbation, the vulnerability assessment of the territory, and the consideration of different climate change scenarios. It also discusses the development of a sustainable urban development plan for Porto-Novo, focusing on functional mix zones, high-potential areas, and vulnerable zones. The lecture emphasizes the importance of protecting populations, enhancing urban functions, and promoting sustainable urban development in the face of climate change challenges.
