Learning Outcomes of UE

the purpose of the teaching unit is to complete the student's training in spatial planning by deepening the skills in urban engineering. Urban engineering refers to all the theories, techniques and urban solutions implemented at the urban and territorial level, from the industrial period to the post-industrial (digital) city, with particular attention paid to issues of mobility, technical networks and new digital approaches under the guise of a resilient reading of the territory. The technical approach is approached within the framework of techniques through the history of the city, current theories and their applications in governance processes, and ultimately, the student must be able to have a solid knowledge of urban systems, based on system theories, and allow him/her to develop a critical mind in the face of current or future urban governance issues.

Content of UE

The Teaching Unit includes courses on mobility and sustainable development, urban networks, smart cities and resilience. The course on urban networks focuses on the history of all urban systems and the recent techniques applied to them. The Intelligent Cities course traces the recent history of the digital and intellgent city and develops the logic of urban governance related to these types of uses. the sustainable mobility course defines in detail the mobility models and their contemporary application in cities. the whole of each course is to be understood as a complement to the other and developing the theoretical principles of systems, applied here to the city..

URBA I, URBA II, URBA III

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

  • Presentation and/or works
  • Oral Examination
  • Written examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The U.E. relies on the course of architectural projects by proposing to deepen the work of urban relation and treatment of the public space by the project of rachitecture of the second semester and for each student. This work is supplemented by a theoretical exam allowing the teachers to ensure the mastery of the defined systemic concepts.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
