Caroline Gallez (LVMT) and Nathalie Roseau (LATTS) are organizing this four-day workshop within the framework of the TOD-IS-RUR network (Program MCA-ITN-H2020). It will discuss the scientific positioning and operational objectives of the network, focusing on the Greater Paris Situation as both a case study and a learning experience for the whole research-training program (approaches, subjects, contexts, methods). Central themes addressed in this studio are:
. What is RUR (Rural Urban region)? Insights from history, transport geography, modeling.
. How to analyze the relationships between transport networks and places/territories?
. How to characterize the diversity of places and equity issues in relation to mass transit access? Beyond transport aspects, how to assess the socio-spatial impacts of other public policies, such as housing or local development?
Studio Paris is co-organized by the Laboratory of Techniques, Territories, and Societies and the Laboratory of City, Mobility, and Transport. Practice-research seminars will bring together the partner organizations of Atelier Parisien d'Urbanisme, AREP, and Institut Paris Région. Field visits and walks in northern Greater Paris will engage unconventional methods of photography and fictional writing with the contribution of Raphaële Bertho and Adèle Gascuel.
