Après un passage par les grandes thématiques urbaines (changement climatique, infrastructures et services, énergie, droit à la ville, foncier, habitat, économie informelle), nous ferons une lecture critique des outils actuellement utilisés dans la gestion et planification urbaines. Nous verrons ensuite comment gérer et planifier une ville plus inclusive, productive, résiliente et respectueuse de l’environnement, et faiblement consommatrice en ressources.
Enfin, nous aborderons successivement les questions du financement des villes, le jeu des acteurs dans la gouvernance des projets urbains, et la mise en œuvre des documents de planification urbaine.

Urbanization
Urbanization (or urbanisation) is the population shift from rural to urban areas, the corresponding decrease in the proportion of people living in rural areas, and the ways in which societies adapt to this change. It can also mean population growth in urban areas instead of rural ones. It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas. Urbanization is often responsible for the myriad of modern problems facing humanity.
Ecosystem service
Ecosystem services are the many and varied benefits to humans provided by the natural environment and healthy ecosystems. Such ecosystems include, for example, agroecosystems, forest ecosystem, grassland ecosystems, and aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystems, functioning in healthy relationships, offer such things as natural pollination of crops, clean air, extreme weather mitigation, and human mental and physical well-being.
