It will allow students, entrepreneurs and professionals in urban planning, architecture and economics to understand and compare the different metropolitan economic and spatial trajectories, the modalities of implementation of circular economy strategies, and in particular the relationship that cities have with territories (urban, peri-urban, rural) in this field.
