Les enjeux des politiques urbaines

Nous décrivons ici les principaux enjeux des politiques urbaines, au niveau international, national et même régional, dans la lutte contre les changements environnementaux.

L’Écocité

L’urbanisme écologique a conduit à la notion d’écocité.
Nous analysons ici les caractéristiques de cette notion, et tenterons de déterminer s’il existe une spécificité méditerranéenne dans sa définition, sa conception et sa réalisation.

Agriculture et Consommation: les oubliés du CC en milieu urbain

L’alimentation des villes est fortement productrice de gaz à effet de serre, mais la consommation aussi, car elle est devient spécifique des villes. Quels enjeux en Méditerranée?

00.Creation of urban sustainable development indicators

The notion of sustainable city refers to stability stakes under adverse circumstances, within which climate change takes a great part. The notion of durability is discussed elsewhere in another article, and, here, we are rather describing indicators that characterise these stakes and the variables that allow to measure progress made in their implementation.

01. 01 - Indicators of Urban Morphology

In most publications, the new sites to be urbanised should have a sufficient density and a minimum degree of compactness. This is because a high density allows to concentrate urban uses and functions in the same area. It also leads to a higher likelihood of contact, exchange and communication between city’s features.

02. 02 - Public space-related indicators and monitoring of context and comfort variables

These indicators aim at assessing the permeability of the urban fabric (measurement of routes), which is linked with the concept of environmental accessibility and comfort. We are therefore measuring the traffic and the pedestrian networks, as well as the occurence of closed residences or clusters of villas, which limit the equal access to people. Issues of comfort are related with the presence of shadows created by trees on public roads, and with noise pollution.

03. 03 - Indicators related with mobility and services

These indicators are linked with green and public transport facilities, and with the accessibility to diverse infrastructures. The purpose is to give information on potential uses and on the functionality of public transport networks (proximity of populations and of places of interest); to encourage the access to cycle routes (high-quality network, access and parking location planning); to plan and monitor the locations of urban car parks (housing and public demand).

04. 04 - Indicators relating to urban organization and complexity

The issues of densification, complexification or urban structure are at the centre of the debate on resilient cities. These indicators are used to characterise these various parameters. They are, or will be, very useful to compare cities that have similar or different policies.

05. 05 - Indicators relating to urban metabolism

Urban metabolism comes from urbanism and urban ecology and attempts to quantify the supply and use of resources, materials or energies, and the transformation process to which they are subject. Urban metabolism modelling allows to control the parameters and to improve the efficiency in climate change mitigation.

06. 06 - Indicators relating to urban biodiversity

"Green" in cities: green areas, green infrastructures, water management in the Mediterranean, fauna and flora in relation with biodiversity issues, fragmentation, and more generally the relationship between quality of life and existence of nature in the city.

— 8 January 2017, by Hubert Mazurek

07. 07 - Indicators relating to social cohesion

Although far from climate change concerns, social diversity, access to services contribute to urban diversity, to the improvement of living standards and to a potential urban behavioural change that can facilitate resilient approaches.
