Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
The objective of the course is to deliver analysis tools applicable to existing urban areas in order to understand their nature and structure
Any urban area is the product of an accumulation of different periods. These can help us to better understand the movement of ideas that shaped its streets and places. Each place is unique.
Reading an urban environment, through its built (buildings and open spaces) and unbuilt components (norms, practices, uses), as well as the appropriation mechanism by inhabitants and users is essential for guiding future interventions.
The urban environment is here considered as a system that combines a series of elements in interaction. Each element has an internal and external logic. The environment of each element is important to understand its evolution (scale effect).
Urban analytics is a relatively young scientifc discipline. It is based on the application of digital tools and metods to urban data, through the use of GIS combined with statistical methods.
The course is struictured along the following content:
- How is the city shaped: an introduction
- Urban form as a process: growth and invariants
- Urban structures: patterns and systems
- Urban typologies and archetypes
- Urban density: indicators and effects
- Urban open space analysis: principles and methods
- Urban accessibility: activities and services
- Urban practices: use and appropriation of places
Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
Town planning is an analytical, strategic, operational and regulatory approach. This introductory urban planning course focuses on the analytical approach.
The objective that we pursue here is to provide keys to interpreting the urban fabrics constituted, in all their complexity and richness. Also, when the text refers to city models, it is less with a view to aiding design than as a support for reflection in relation to the existing and in particular in relation to recent transformations of the city . Any city is in fact the product of the accumulation of different strata of development and we can find there the trace of the different currents of thought which have marked the development of urban thought as well as the succession of activities which have marked the particular history of each city.
Learning to read this environment means not only recognizing these traces of the past, but also interpreting their recent transformations as well as the forms of appropriation to which they give rise on the part of the population. From this perspective, the urban environment will be understood as a system associating a series of elements in constant interaction and each element only finds its reason for being and its own logic when placed within a larger whole.
