From land use planning to land management

The lessons mainly consist of a detailed presentation of the fundamentals of land use planning: The main legal frameworks are presented and analyzed (in a participatory manner). legal frameworks and their constant evolution (codes, laws, texts), the " doctrines " that condition their implementation, as well as the various technical "tools" involved in procedures and file preparation (urban planning documents, or public or private construction or development projects). The tools and conditions for dialogue and consultation (examination of different operating modes), land approaches (land management and tools for this management), the assessment of multiple issues (financial, socio-economic, and political), and finally the decision-making process decision-making. The various aspects mentioned above are highlighted as factors that determine the success—and therefore the successful spatial translation—of all development projects, regardless of their nature and scale.

Focused on all territories, the module also aims to address issues specific to coastal areasand similar areas. Because coastal areas have specific characteristics, a particular approach to these spaces is essential to complement general approaches (Coastal Law, Water Law, easements, changes in frameworks and texts).

Finally, the backdrop to this module is the systematic highlighting of the many debates and issues involved in the confrontation between theemergency (or priority) socio-economic and environmental urgency (or priority) environmental, with an understanding of trade-offs and adjustments that this confrontation raises. The urgency of the ecological and transitional crisis, as well as the acceleration of confrontations / conflicts of interest are examined and put into perspective.

With regard to the " management " of territories, presented in the EU title ("From Planning to Management of Territories") as resulting from the planning stage, this theme is also described and analyzed for each of the points outlined that relate to planning, both as a consequence of the actions carried out and as a condition for the success — in the medium and long term — of projects implemented in a territory, regardless of their scale.

To train future professionals and experts in fields related to land use planning, actors or partners capable of joining public authorities that are at the forefront of land use planning and management, and also capable of joining private companies to support, lead or co-lead, and coordinate development projects requiring implementation in a given territory.

No prerequisites necessary.
