Airport development and metropolitan planning in Hong Kong
2019
Hong Kong, one of the world’s major international airports, has responded to the challenge of congestion of an airport too small for a growing air traffic by building a new efficient airport, thus opening the way for a reconversion of the old airport site. This has allowed Hong Kong to strengthen its position as a global hub for air freight and international passengers, while being a core element of the ongoing spatial restructuration of the Pearl River delta, including a new town next to the airport and an intermodal center at the end of the HKMZ bridge-tunnel from Macau.
Territorial tripolarization in Bolivia : genesis and current situation
2012
The Bolivian urban system is outstanding : three major cities concentrate about half of the nation’s population and employment. Their territories’ trajectories lead us to question their economic role in the face of the successful economic achievement of Potosi and Tarija, territories well endowed in natural resources. We wanted to highlight the Bolivian current territorial tripolarization, firstly by studying its emergence, through the study of their economical history; secondly, by investigating the most recent economical data in order to display the strengths and weaknesses of this tripolarized system. Each component of the tripole is situated in a different geographical setting. In the W…
Comprehending city and its production in Africa through a systemic approach : example of the city of Diamniadio, Dakar
2022
For a long time, the analysis of the production of the city in Africa was based on an exogenous perception according to urban models theorized and experimented with in the Occidental countries, then diffused and applied through different mechanisms in the South, bearing witness to historical relations - through the making of the colonial city - and present relations - in the context of the making of new towns. After independence, researchers looked at the redefinition of the city in Africa with its complexity and plurality according to geographical and historical trajectories, proposing new urban theories that were more nuanced and linked to local and contextual realities. Therefore, follow…
Megacities without Global Functions.
2007
Present urban evolution is characterized by two major phenomena. On the one hand, the number of very large cities, the megacities, increases dramatically, especially in the less developed countries (LDCs). On the other hand, globalization leads to the emergence of cities coordinating complex and global economic activities, the global cities, especially in the more developed countries (MDCs). So, the two phenomena are diverging. A number of megacities do not exhibit any global function.The global performances of megacities are well correlated with their degree of economic development. But it is worth wondering why economic underdevelopment is consistent with urban growth but not with city gl…
Les territoires urbains polycentriques en Europe : de l'organisation économique à la gouvernance
2006
La présente recherche a pour objectif d'étudier les nouvelles centralités au sein des territoires urbains en Europe, de mener une analyse comparative des modalités d'organisation économique et institutionnelle de ces territoires afin d'en dégager des orientations de recherches prospectives sur l'interface : Europe Polycentrique – Recomposition des centralités - Gouvernance urbaine. Cinq pays sont privilégiés : l'Allemagne, l'Espagne, la France, la Grande-Bretagne et l'Italie. Trois grilles d'analyse sont utilisées pour synthétiser les recherches : 1/ la forme "intra" ou "inter" urbaine des polarités économiques 2/ Les caractéristiques fonctionnelles des polarités 3/ les modes de gouvernance…
Modélisation des objets urbains pour l'étude des dynamiques urbaines dans la longue durée
2007
The use of GIS to study the spatial evolution of pre-industrial cities over the "longue durée" requires rigorously formalising heterogeneous data from different sources into robust entities. An initial model using the HBDS (Hypergraph Based Data Structure) method enabled us to distinguish social and spatial features. In this paper we develop a specific model for the temporal dimension. The definition of urban objects using social, spatial and temporal features enhances the study of urban dynamics of change over the "longue durée".
A quoi sert une prison au XVIIIe siècle ? L'exemple des prisons patrimoniales de Beaune (1783-1790)
2015
Benoît Garnot Sous l'Ancien Régime, la prison joue dans le système pénal un rôle très différent de celui qu'elle assume depuis la Révolution. En théorie, l'enfermement en prison ne fait pas partie de l'arsenal des peines, même s'il y a des exceptions, en particulier pour les femmes, comme substitution aux peines de galère, ainsi que pour les vieillards. La prison est d'abord (et surtout) le lieu où se trouvent détenus les débiteurs récalcitrants. Elle se trouve aussi utilisée à titre préventi...
Communication analysis of the nomination proposals for inclusion in Unesco's World Heritage list : a comparative reading of “Ancient Georgian traditi…
2021
We live in a globalized world in which the attractiveness of territories, cultural policy and creativity are important levers for economic and sustainable development. Even a small territory or medium-sized cities can build their image by attracting tourists to increase economic benefits. Among other instruments, the Unesco's list has become increasingly popular. What are the consequences of classifying cities, know-how, traditions such as the world heritage of humanity? What are the differences in the ranking of items from different countries? The term heritage indicates all the objects, historical monuments, landscapes, or traditions of a country. There is the classification of these elem…
