Metropolitanisation : methods and analysis tools
Home > News > Seminars & Events
Objectives
The objective of this study day, is to unite researchers originating from different fields (economy, geography, urban development, town and country planning) and who have worked on the stakes of metropolitanisation, through different methods and study tools, in different areas (France, Latin America, Africa and Asia).
The urban processes happening at the scale of big towns, is called metropolitanisation. In France, this term mainly refers to the works of economists and urban development planners such as Lacour, Puissant, Veltz, who study the relationships between economic dynamics and transformation of urban territories, of geographers taking into account demographic and spatial criteria in their analysis (Moriconi, Pumain…). Some researchers also investigated this notion through areas in Asia, like Mc Gee, Rimmer, fully integrating globalisation in their analysis.
The objectives for this day, is therefore to compare the issues of metropolitanisation through different geographic contexts and through different disciplinary approaches.
