La ville contemporaine est le fruit de profondes mutations morphologiques engendrant des mutations d’ordre socio-économique et environnemental. La périurbanisation comme modèle prépondérant d’aménagement et de développement territorial suscite, face à l’importante artificialisation du sol qu’il engendre, des débats afin de proposer des alternatives limitant ses effets négatifs. Le renouvellement urbain est au cœur de ce débat. En effet, il propose une alternative intéressante, déjà pratiquée dans les villes occidentales, visant à englober une approche holistique prenant en compte les revendications sociales mais aussi les questions d’ordre économique et environnemental. Les politiques publiques ont évolué pour passer d’un renouvellement urbain planifié strictement morphologique, comme il fut pratiqué de manière individuelle et spontanée depuis la création de la ville, à un renouvellement urbain social inclusif répondant aux besoins des habitants. Il n’est donc plus question de renouveler la ville sans une concertation avec ses usagers. Cependant, l’analyse de l’évolution de la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques relatives au renouvellement urbain, suscite des questionnements quant à la transformation durable de la dynamique sociale et spatiale des villes contemporaines.

Considérée comme un mode d’expression privilégié de la souveraineté, la norme reste encore une énigme pour certains pays en émergence. A ce titre, les pays occidentaux ont développé leurs industries de BTP et des matériaux de construction en se basant sur les normes ; celles-ci pour la maitrise des phénomènes d’étalement urbain et de bidonvilles, répondant ainsi aux besoins de construction exprimés par la population. Certains pays en voie d’émergence comme la République du Congo ne disposent malheureusement pas de normes nationales dans le domaine du Bâtiment et Travaux Publics. Sur ce, leurs parcs immobiliers sont souvent envahis en grande partie par des produits et services non adaptés à l’usage auquel ils sont destinés. N’ayant pas et/ou peu de choix de ce qui leur est offert, les consommateurs se trouvent exposés au danger. De ce fait, cette étude souligne la nécessité d’élaborer les normes de conception, de réalisation et d’exploitation des ouvrages du Bâtiment et des infrastructures afin d’empêcher l’importation de mauvaises pratiques douteuses inadaptées aux conditions du Congo-Brazzaville. Pour ce faire, l’étude dresse premièrement un état des lieux des normes de construction au niveau international. Deuxièmement, nous allons introduire le concept de normes de construction congolaise. Enfin, il sera question de discuter de l’élaboration et de l’harmonisation des normes techniques (ou métiers) dans l’industrie du Bâtiment et des Infrastructures au Congo Brazzaville.

Le Maroc célèbre les 100 ans de l'urbanisme au Maroc, mais une tradition urbaine y existe depuis bien longtemps à laquelle se sont ajoutés l'urbanisme colonial et une urbanisation récente. En plus d'un patrimoine architectural et paysager d'une grande richesse et d'autres atouts qui ne tombent pas dans la facilité de la rente pétrolière, on peut trouver aussi, notamment dans la culture de la densité propre à la ville marocaine, les ressources d'un "orbanisme", comme l'a suggéré Gaston Bardet, qui répond aux exigences d'un développement urbain durable...

Les ksour et les kasbahs se dégradent et le savoir-faire ancestral des anciens bâtisseurs menace de disparaître à jamais. Les techniques héritées de père en fils ont réussi à concevoir des volumes urbains et architecturaux climatiquement agréables. Nos ancêtres ont su éviter les rayons du soleil et la chaleur estivale, réguler l'hygrométrie et apporter un minimum de fraîcheur dans l'espace de vie. La conception de ces bâtiments ne dépend pas seulement du climat, le socioculturel joue également un rôle dans la conception de cette architecture traditionnelle. Les efforts de préservation, d'amélioration et de revitalisation de ces édifices ne suffisent pas, il est important de préserver le génie de ces bâtisseurs et de réinventer un savoir-faire contemporain puisant son inspiration de la tradition locale.

El projecte d’eixample d’Ildefons Cerdà per al pla de Barcelona proposava un traçat il·limitat basat en una retícula moderna de carrers amplis i grans illes edificades. Una característica del traçat era l’homogeneïtat de la forma urbana. Factors com l’activitat agrícola prèvia, però, van condicionar el creixement de l’Eixample en dos teixits urbans diferenciats. D’una banda, es fa referència a l’eixample central, sobre un sòl agrícola de secà de baixa qualitat, que va formalitzar una illa amb edificació residencial perimetral i usos productius a la planta baixa i el pati interior. De l’altra, hi ha el Poblenou, més resistent al canvi d’ús pel valor del sòl agrícola de regadiu i per l’aïllament que implicava el sistema ferroviari, que va formalitzar un model amb edificació de poca alçada i una ocupació total del sòl. L’objectiu d’aquest article és fer un estudi comparatiu dels dos models de desenvolupament d’eixample a partir de la revisió històrica de la seva evolució, però també de l’anàlisi d’indicadors sobre la seva morfologia urbana actual.

The Bamiléké family estate as an instance of endogenous architecture in Cameroon: This paper addresses the issue of vernacular or endogenous architecture and design in Cameroonian cities. More precisely, we study the traditional Bamiléké family estate as a specific type of housing and property structure within the community of Pète‐Bandjoun. According to our research, these estates usually involve the following spatial units: green spaces, a delineating structure, a courtyard, the family landfill, the magico‐religious place, the family cemetery, the dwelling itself, and the dwelling's main functional units (kitchen, toilets, attic, etc.). We suggest the idea that the Bamiléké family estate is in itself an important source of endogenous knowledge related to architecture and planning. Moreover, it is a tangible and intangible cultural heritage which should be preserved in Cameroon despite widespread urbanization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1591, a Moroccan army was sent by Sultan Aḥmad al-Manṣūr to conquer the city of Timbuktu. This army was composed of renegades, Andalusian refugees, and Moroccan soldiers from the Dra’a and Fez. These men and their descendants established a new order in the city, modifying its social structure and its architecture. Timbuktu was then at the crossroads of migrations: a terminus for some, a point of departure for others fleeing the Moroccan invasion. The capture of Timbuktu was the result of and the starting point for profound changes in Africa in the modern era.

Grand Nador is characterised by a deep spatial and territorial dynamic linked to the economic, social and environmental changes of this territory. In proportion to this size dynamic, urbanization experiences enormous difficulties. Without worrying about the presence of natural risks, often concealed in a punctual and curative territorial management of a remedial urbanism, this territory has seen its vulnerability increased. The more there is the urbanization crisis, the more there is recourse to the catch-up mechanism, so the catch-up provisions only make urban management more complex, these operations do not yet reflect the integration of these districts into the overall plan. To grasp the relationship between this remedial urban planning and the acceleration of natural risks. A holistic approach was deployed, several approaches were adopted: So, if the historical approach was useful to know the birth of this derailed urbanization, the work sessions and the questionnaire were very beneficial to measure territorial parameters. While the excursions were an opportunity to compare the results obtained with reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Le sol congolais est la propriété exclusive de l’Etat. Celui-ci consent aux particuliers des droits de jouissance appelé « concession ». L’accès à la concession sur les terres urbaines est soumis à la condition de mise en valeur. Ceci signifie que le concessionnaire est tenu d’ériger des constructions sur son fonds. Cependant, la construction se fait dans le respect des normes d’urbanisme. En effet, ce n’est pas parce que le concessionnaire a le droit de construire qu’il peut ériger sa construction comme bon lui semble. Autrement dit, sa liberté en cette matière est restreinte par les règles d’urbanisme. Cette situation est tout à fait normale dans la mesure où les règles d’urbanisme garantissent l’intérêt général.

Illegal housing forms and evolution in Algeria: The case of two small towns (Guelaat Bou Sbaa and Bouati Mahmoud) The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of socio‐economic, demographic, financial, and regulatory factors on the design of informal housing in the county (group of local municipalities) of Guelma (Algeria). To do this, 34 dwellings located in the two small towns (Guelaat Bou Sbaa and Bouati Mahmoud) were chosen to be studied. This evaluation was carried out through comparing actual and redesigned plans of existing housing units, during the legalization process supervised by the local administrations. Moreover, we carried out a spatial analysis of the two types of plans for each unit as well as a socio‐economic, demographic, financial, and regulatory study of the housing industry in the selected area. The results suggest the importance of outdoor space in existing dwellings and a trend towards more complexity and spatial interiority in projected dwellings. In addition, the design of housing was found to be dependent on the social factor, while it is independent of the economic, financial, and regulatory factor. Seemingly, economic and financial factors only influence the rate of completion and occupancy of housing, while regulation has no influence on the design of housing given the difficulty of its application. Messages clés: L'étude détaillée des formes et caractéristiques du logement informel permet de comprendre son processus de production et de transformation.On remarque des influences fortes du facteur social et faible des facteurs financiers et règlementaires dans la conception du logement informel au sein des petites villes.Il y a nécessité d'une révision des textes règlementaires de régularisation des logements informels et des modes de production du logement collectif en Algérie.

Increasing urbanization generates new challenges for cities, including housing shortages, environmental degradation, public health concerns, and food security issues, just to mention a few. High levels of food insecurity can motivate planners to increase their support for community gardening forms of urban agriculture. The COVID‐19 pandemic has amplified many pressures of urban living. In this paper, we focus on challenges around urban agriculture activities, in particular, exploring regulatory approaches and limitations when it comes to growing food in cities. This study uses qualitative research methods to explore the main barriers to urban agriculture as perceived by community‐based groups in Victoria, British Columbia. Data collection included 18 semi‐structured, face‐to‐face interviews, and two community mapping workshops with local residents, government officials, and non‐governmental groups. Data analysis generated initial codes and themes that revealed "urban agriculture zones" and "garden‐style" apartment housing as important avenues for urban agriculture projects. These findings are relevant in Victoria, where more than half of the population lives in apartments. A food action plan is a regulatory mechanism that can boost food production when aligned with the official community plan. Any progress towards far‐reaching changes, however, requires an efficient urban agriculture development process, including creating site inventories, increasing stakeholder participation, reducing waitlists, and tackling high land prices. Key Messages: This paper investigates existing planning barriers to urban agriculture in cities.We argue that urban planners must focus on existing regulatory challenges related to zoning bylaws, land‐use policies, and governance strategies to enhance food‐growing opportunities.Changing the mechanisms for urban agriculture development approvals and creating a specific food action plan are key elements for implementing successful food‐growing urban projects in cities.

In Luanda maybe more than elsewhere, controlling the city landscape is synonymous with controlling the polity at large. Despite a tremendous political change in Angola during the twentieth century, the paper traces how the modernist plans elaborated in the late colonial period (1945–1975) have influenced the planning imagination of Luanda until today. It argues that the construction boom that reshaped Luanda at the end of the war in 2002 can be interpreted as a modernist promise to break the middle class free from a hopeless urban fabric by promoting a specific urban aesthetic rather than facilitating social transformation. These continuities are, however, complex and fragile. What happens when the utopia of a city under control starts to lose power? Reflecting on two urban projects built around half a century apart, this paper explores how the kinesthetic experience of the city might constitute an unexpected form of ideological dissent able to disrupt modernism at large. The trajectory of Kilamba City, in particular, is the epitome of the oil-fed reconstruction frenzy of the late 2000s that brutally ended in 2014. Looking at how residents, planners and even state media relate to this project suggests that the unsustainability of a utopian suburban life eventually triggers new political subjectivities and directly challenges the modernist ideology that endured for so long.

Résumé : La présente étude vise à contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des actions de développement réalisées à Daloa entre 1964, année de la mise en place de la délégation spéciale et 2010, en mettant en évidence les mécanismes et les caractères de ces actions. La méthode de travail privilégiée est basée sur la recherche documentaire, l’observation de terrain et les entretiens oraux. Le traitement de deux cartes et une photo nous a permis également d’apprécier le niveau de progression de la ville avec les problèmes d’urbanisme qui en découlent. Enfin, les données recueillies montrent que la ville de Daloa est restée presqu’autonome dans le financement de ses projets communaux, les subventions de l’État étant largement en dessous des besoins. Certes, l’État réalise de grandes infrastructures socio-économiques notamment à l’approche de la fête tournante de l’indépendance qu’abrite Daloa en 1967, mais la crise économique de 1980 occasionne son retrait et amène la municipalité à prendre ses responsabilités à travers la politique de décentralisation dénommée communalisation. Cependant, malgré la bonne stratégie de mobilisation de ressources et le niveau de développement auquel elle aurait pu prétendre, la ville de Daloa connait de nombreuses difficultés d’urbanisme qui bloquent son évolution planifiée.

Benefiting from exceptional credits voted in 1833, the Muséum national d’Hstoire naturelle de Paris had the opportunity to modernize the garden that houses it and was one with it: the Jardin des Plantes. The young architect Charles Rohault de Fleury (1801-1875), appointed a year earlier chief architect of the Museum, thus inherited the responsibility of designing new buildings and decorations that reflect the scientific ambition attached to this place: to preserve and exhibit all the natural productions of the globe.

Cadastral maps, which are designed as comprehensive systems for recording and surveying land relations, are critical for making society legible and governable. However, critical cartography scholarship suggests that exercising power through maps is not straightforward: It is dependent on how maps are created and used during the mapping process. This paper examines cadastral mapping in Jigjiga, a multi-ethnic city in the Ethiopian Somali frontier where state authority over land and people have long been contested among ethnic Somali residents. This paper follows the ruling government's renewed attempt to establish land control through spatial planning based on document analysis and ethnographic fieldwork. It investigates how urban planners enclose the city's property landscape cartographically on land use maps and how land surveyors used these maps to georeference property. It demonstrates the critical role of land governance experts in navigating the simplified map and a complex property landscape on the ground. Cadastral mapping is instrumental for state territorialization and land commodification, integrating ethnic Somali property into the sedentary logic of the state. Rather than providing an account of how property is rendered legible, this paper highlights the incomplete and open-ended character of cadastral mapping in the constitution of private property regimes.

La gestion urbaine est le reflet de politiques publiques multiples et du degré de la démocratie locale. L’analyse du système de gestion de la ville de Marrakech, à travers l’appréciation de la portée et des limites de l’action publique présumée régulatrice vis-à-vis des intérêts divers et divergents liés à la production du sol urbain,permet de remettre en cause les logiques de ce système qui s’apparente à un acte tributaire d’une volonté éphémère et non d’une politique exercée suivant un cadrage réglementaire et normatif pondéré. La gestion urbaine au niveau de la ville de Marrakech se fait en l’absence de documents d’urbanisme à même d’aider à l’organisation et au développement urbains. Le manque de jalonnement en la matière et le manque d’expertise se traduisent souvent par des tergiversations et tractations quant à l’instruction des dossiers d’autorisations. Les outils de la gestion urbaine se limitent aux lotissements, groupes d’habitations, constructions et morcellements. On manque de certains outils d’aménagement urbain comme les zones d’aménagement concerté et les projets opérationnels, comme on manque d’un cadrage normatif lucide, sachant qu’on s’adosse à des circulaires et grilles reflétant les principes du modèle fonctionnaliste et la primauté de l’habitat sur l’urbanisme.En outre, la pratique de la dérogation en urbanisme affecte négativement la production du sol urbain de Marrakech, comme elle risque de défigurer le paysage naturel et agricole de son périurbain. Ce faisant, la gestion urbaine se réduit aux tractations et compromis et demeure tributaire des situations locales et conjoncturelles, faisant courtiser les intérêts des pouvoirs les plus forts. Pourtant la rationalité de la prise de décision en matière de gestion urbaine doit être perçue dans une prospective territoriale, eu égard aux différentes échelles d’aménagement et d’urbanisme.Ainsi, ce travail met l’accent sur les interfaces entre la planification stratégique de la ville, les moyens juridico-institutionnels et techniques mobilisables et les outils de la gestion urbaine. Il en est ainsi question, pour faire autrement, de partager une stratégie d’acteurs, de réguler l’action collective sur la ville, de voir large et profond dans les normes et servitudes de gestion urbaine en s’appliquant à construire un système normatif à la fois souple, facilitateur et précis.

Le foncier est un facteur déterminant en matière de façonnement des villes. Sa gestion ne débouche guère sur un assentiment global. Elle ne peut être l'expression d'un optimum socio-économique partagé par tous les acteurs, au vu de leurs intérêts divers et divergents. Les dysfonctionnements juridiques et institutionnels liés à la question foncière au Maroc sont multiples. Sur le plan juridique, la règle de droit relève généralement de l'héritage colonial ayant un caractère palliatif. Elle est loin de répondre aux problématiques foncières complexes et mouvantes. Sur le plan institutionnel, les dysfonctionnements implique une incohérence de l'action publique. L'éclatement du système d'acteurs entraîne des actions peu concordantes et peu concluantes. L'inertie de l'action de l'Etat face aux défis urbains est manifeste. Cela implique la déficience de la gouvernance du sol urbain marquée par le manque d'une politique foncière perspicace et la prééminence des politiques de secteurs. Des réajustements et réformes s'imposent pour amorcer un renouveau en matière de l'action publique sur le foncier urbain. Cette réflexion note des éléments d'espoir découlant de certains textes juridiques ayant trait notamment à la gestion des terres collectives, au régime du foncier des collectivités territoriales et à l'investissement. Le renouveau requis en matière de gouvernance du foncier urbain doit être situé dans un cadre systémique. A cet égard, il faut repenser l'administration du cadastre, réguler le système de gestion foncière et prendre en considération des recommandations récurrentes axées sur un redéploiement institutionnel, la réorganisation des rôles d'acteurs et le recours à un ensemble d'outils, de mécanismes et de mesures d'ordre technique, juridiques, économique et opérationnel.

Given that our urban centres have been dominated by the private car for a hundred years, this paper asks what is next for Canadian cities. Previous research on the future of urban mobility, and specifically city planning and autonomous vehicles, has been from an American or Australian context. Working from a uniquely Canadian perspective, this paper fills a gap in the research by analyzing data from twenty-six semi-structured interviews with Canadian planning professionals from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. The interviews discuss how Canadian planners are preparing for new technologies, including autonomous vehicles, and increased privatization. We recommend that large cities move forward with autonomous vehicle research with a goal of improving mobility for all, while ensuring a strong agreement framework with all for-profit mobility providers is in place that requires robust data sharing agreements and appropriate consultation with municipalities before, during, and after launching. Further, planners should further embrace the political realities of their positions and advocate for equitable mobility for all residents both in their day-to-day work and in public engagement settings.
