Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Côte d’Ivoire est en quête d’une stratégie de développement qui lui permettra d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, ce qui représente un défi qui nécessiterait un taux de croissance annuel de 10 % pendant plus de 13 ans. L’expérience des économies développées et émergentes démontre que le produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant augmente avec la progression de l’urbanisation. Néanmoins, l’économie de la Côte d’Ivoire affiche des performances insuffisantes sur le plan de l’urbanisation. L’urbanisation et le revenu par habitant ont une corrélation négative depuis la fin des années 1970, et la pauvreté augmente. Au lieu d’envisager le développement des villes individuellement, un plan d’urbanisation réussie devrait considérer les villes de la Côte d’Ivoire comme un portefeuille d’actifs qui se distinguent les uns des autres par leur taille, leur emplacement et la densité de leur population. Les auteurs de L’Urbanisation diversifiée : Le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire identifient trois types de villes, fondées sur leurs contributions à la croissance et à la création d’emplois : les connecteurs globaux ; les connecteurs régionaux, situées le long des corridors d’échanges et des transports régionaux ; et les connecteurs locaux, qui génèrent les économies de localisation nécessaires à l’agro-industrie. Les parties prenantes des administrations nationales et infranationales et du secteur privé ont formulé une vision commune de l’urbanisation en Côte d’Ivoire : « villes planifiées, structurées, compétitives, attractives, inclusives et organisées autour de pôles de développement ». Afin de réaliser cette vision et d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, les décideurs politique ivoiriens doivent agir de toute urgence pour promouvoir une urbanisation diversifiée pour tous les types de villes. Cette présente étude identifie des contraintes principales et des enjeux dans quatre domaines : la planification, les connexions, l’écologisation, et le financement des villes.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belgium is a small country, but its planning traditions are rooted in a heritage which has been greatly enriched by its central location in the West European community of nations. Medieval, Renaissance and industrial age planning and urban design gave Belgium many examples of architectural masterpieces especially in the city centers. During the post World War II period, Belgian planners and politicians legislated national planning laws that divided the country into 48 planning regions (also called sub-regions and sectors) and empowered the municipalities (communes) with potent legal instruments to direct land development in accordance with their plans. Preparation, amendment and execution of these plans in a democratic society with a strong laissezJaire tradition have been painstaking, but nonethe less, significant tangible results have been achieved. The purpose of this book is to explore and assess the successes and failure of Belgian planning and make this record available in English so that they may remain facets of Belgian planning. The general socio-economic and historical background is provided with a view to understanding the theoretical, legal, physical and selected topical aspects of Belgian planning. In doing so a multi-disciplinary approach has been taken and the authors have been selected from a variety of disciplines. Professor Louis Albrechts of the University of Leuven is a planning theorist. Ms. Brigitte Beernaert and Mr. Karel Vroom are practicing planners. Beernaert is also a planning historian. Legal and administrative backgrounds are represented by the planning experts, Dr.

This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avec une population urbaine estimée à 43% en 2016, la proportion de la population urbaine de la République démocratique du Congo est la troisième plus importante en Afrique subsaharienne, après celle de l’Afrique du Sud et du Nigéria. Avec un taux d’urbanisation de 4.1% par an, les villes congolaises accueillent ainsi, chaque année, 1 million de citadins supplémentaires. Si cette tendance se poursuit, la population urbaine pourrait doubler en l’espace de 15 ans seulement. De plus, avec ses 12 millions d’habitants et un taux de croissance de 5.1% par an, Kinshasa pourrait devenir d’ici 2030 la ville la plus peuplée d’Afrique. Cette forte croissance urbaine s’accompagne de deux défis majeurs : d’une part, celui de rendre les villes habitables et inclusives en répondant à la forte demande de services sociaux et d’infrastructures, d’éducation, de santé et d’autres services de base et à l’importante pauvreté urbaine, et d’autre part, celui de rendre les villes plus productives grâce à une meilleure concentration de l’activité économique. La Revue de l’Urbanisation de la République démocratique du Congo montre que le pays s’urbanise à des rythmes différents, et identifie 5 régions (Est, Sud, Centre, Ouest et Bassin du Congo) qui présente des défis et des opportunités qui leur sont spéficiques. La Revue propose des mesures de politiques publiques sous trois ensembles d’instruments †“ les « 3 Is » (Institutions, Infrastructures et Interventions) pour aider chaque région à répondre à ses besoins spécifiques tout en tirant parti des effets d’agglomération économique. Ainsi, il est proposé pour les régions à urbanisation naissante (région de l’est) d’investir dans les Institutions courantes qui régulent les marchés (foncier par exemple), et fournissent les services de base. A mesure que l’on progresse vers un stage d’urbanisation intermédiaire (régions du sud et du centre) et que les marchés se consolident, les Infrastructures de liaison extra-urbaines et intra-urbaines deviennent essentielles. Les infrastructures de transport qui relient les villes et l’arrière-pays rural peuvent intégrer les marchés de produits, accroître le commerce inter-régional et faciliter la spécialisation économique. Dans les régions à urbanisation avancée (région de l’ouest), les priorités consistent à consolider les institutions, accroître les investissements en infrastructures de liaison et renforcer les Interventions ciblées ainsi que les actions à mener pour réduire la formation des quartiers précaires à Kinshasa, par exemple. La République démocratique du Congo est à la croisée des chemins. La récente baisse des prix des matières premières pourrait être l’occasion pour le pays de diversifier son économie et d’investir dans le secteur manufacturier. Le moment est indiqué pour que les décideurs congolais investissent dans des villes capables d’être le moteur de la transformation structurelle du pays et d’une meilleure intégration avec les marchés africains et mondiaux afin de conduire le pays sur la voie de l’émergence.

Book excerpt: 'one of the best contemporary statements of what is occurring in the growth of urban places in the Third World' Environment and Planning 'a book that should enjoy a wide appeal: as a plea for adoption of the 'popular approach'; as a text for student use; and as an accessible and stimulating guide to the urban problems of developing countries' Progress in Human Geography 'a very readable book, containing a lot of well documented information The book is especially relevant for interested lay people but many professionals will benefit from having a copy on the bookshelf' Third World Planning Review The true planners and builders of Third World cities are the poor. They organize, plan and build with no help from professionals. Drawing on their own skills, making the best use of limited resources and forming their own community organizations, they account for most new city housing. But the city, which thrives on their cheap labour, rejects them. Their houses are deemed illegal, because they do not conform to regulations and they are called 'squatters', because they cannot afford to buy sites legally. Their right to water, education and health care, even to vote, are often denied. This book challenges many common assumptions about the urban Third World - for example that urban citizens live in very large cities and that cities are growing rapidly, or that city dwellers benefit from 'urban bias' in government and aid policies. It is about the lives of the 'squatter citizens' and the problems they face in their struggle for survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centers on climate change, a pressing issue in the ecological transition, particularly for landscape and architecture schools. The scientific realities and consequences of this phenomenon are becoming increasingly well-known and it is now evident that architecture, urban planning and landscaping all have the potential to mitigate these consequences. Ecological Transition in Education and Research is a multidisciplinary collective work, intended to raise awareness of adaptation and mitigation strategies such as action-research, educational innovations and concrete transition practices that embrace different schools of thought. The overall goal is to promote educational practices and research on climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International airports have become an inherent part of many urban regions and key transport infrastructures for metropolitan economies. Yet they are also a source of tensions, often associated with the contrasting impacts of their operation. Taking the example of Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Paris, the author analyzes the factors influencing urban development and the related spatial strategies. Step by step, she traces the history of the airport, examines prominent conflicts and their management by planners, and derives broader lessons. Intended for town planners, policy makers, and urban designers, the book makes an important contribution to understanding the challenges and assessing the effectiveness of planning approaches for airport regions.
