Master's degree in urban planning and development - Landscape project, development and urban planning course

The TP – PAUE pathway trains students in landscape thinking and action in town and country planning and municipal or inter-municipal urban planning. From the scale of the urban park to that of the large territory, the TP – PAUE pathway trains professionals who are particularly enlightened as to the ways in which the living environment is developed and spared in plans and projects, in connection with the process of ecologisation of the practices of those involved in the territorial and urban fabric.

In a context in which the growing importance of environmental, climatic and ecological issues calls for a renewal of the ways in which cities and territories are planned and projected, the course therefore sets itself up as a real link between landscape planning and landscape urbanism. As such, it establishes landscape as the foundation, means and end of the production of planning and urbanism documents.

Students from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds who demonstrate an open-minded approach to the ecological dimension of urban planning.

The urban planning and development major is designed over two years: entry to M2 is by priority after obtaining an M1 in Urban Planning and Development.

It is possible to apply for direct entry to M2 after obtaining an M1 in another discipline, after examining the equivalence of courses

Students must have an M1 in urban planning or any other compatible M1 after examining the equivalence of courses.

It is recommended that you have followed courses on the dynamics of cities and territories and the challenges of sustainable development ; that you are familiar with cartographic tools ; that you have experience of territorial diagnosis.

The three initial training courses (PAUE, HAPRU, PTS) are based on a major common core designed to provide the fundamental knowledge and know-how of urban planning and development, from a dual perspective of theoretical contributions and operational and practical approaches.

Based on this common core, specialisation takes place within teaching and exercises specific to the pathway.

The year is divided into two semesters, the second of which is largely devoted to the end-of-study placement.

• FDSP, Marseille

The course is based on the work and expertise developed over many years by the teacher-researchers at LIEU (the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Environnement Urbanisme). Students receive research training as part of a compulsory dissertation at the end of their studies.

The skills acquired by students on the PAUE course concern :

• l'analyse de la pluralité des contextes urbains et territoriaux en matière de paysage (études et diagnostic) ;

• assistance with project management to enhance and protect the landscape in the territorial and urban fabric ;

• l'insertion des enjeux paysagers dans les différents outils, démarches, procédures de projets ;

• the mastery of representation tools (cartographic, schematic...) ;

• l'acquisition des codes de la communication écrite et orale.

The diploma requires the completion of a dissertation and a supervised work placement in a professional environment.

Supervised work of various kinds (long workshop, workshop...) punctuates the entire yearà the common core or the course.
