The challenges of urban growth: what methods for local and regional authorities? Organised by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The side event highlighted the idea that planning requires and is based on the development of 4 systems: vertical (from the national territory to the neighbourhood), horizontal (between local authorities), inter-technical sector systems and temporal systems. Today, current methods of planning do not always call for the participation of actors. Through urban “strategic� planning, a long term policy has been developed: a territorial planning document divided into mid-term strategies accompanied by follow-up tools. The ownership of territorial actors is a necessary condition in territorial planning. This ownership is created with the support of the state and is based on mastering the territorial effort to coordinate the various territorial levels and sectors.
