“Algiers and the Algerian Desert”: Decolonization and the Regional Question in France, 1958–1962

This article demonstrates how Algerian decolonization played a key role in shaping the discipline of territorial planning (aménagement du territoire) in metropolitan France. A number of liberal economists, including François Perroux, articulated notions of economic space that eschewed the nation-state as a unit of analysis. In colonial Algeria, this discourse was subsequently adopted by officials who sought to integrate Muslim Algerians into the French Republic. Discussions on territorial planning in late colonial Algeria echoed debates in the United States regarding the “social uplift” of African Americans in the South, which also attempted to stem the rising tide of separatism. In the 1950s, liberal understandings of the relationship among cultural specificity, territorial scale, and economic development were challenged by a host of actors, including Algerian nationalists who espoused ideas that would later appear in the analyses of world systems theorists. After the victory of the Algerian FLN (Front de libération nationale) in 1962, discussions on regional identities provided an important tool for political claims on both sides of the Mediterranean. Moreover, techniques of territorial planning developed in Algeria were imported to the Hexagon in the aftermath of Algerian independence.

Transversal Competences in Education for Sustainable Development and International Solidarity – A book review

In the current educational scenario of training students for the 21st century, when teaching methodologies are rapidly changing to suit the more and more challenging demands, there is a stringent need to equip pupils, students, teachers, educators, and not only, with the adequate skills to succeed in their activities. Particularly teachers, teacher trainers and trainee teachers, since they are the real protagonists of change when it comes to educating and shaping the society they live in and bringing up responsible and actively engaged citizens. In a year like no other, this need has become even more obvious in the case of the recent pandemic, which forced teachers to adjust their capabilities to the new environment and to resort to reskilling and upskilling strategies, so as to better cope with the unique, unprecedented educational setting. In this context, the book edited by Monica Tilea, Olivier Morin and Oana-Adriana Duță, and entitled Transversal Competences in Education for Sustainable Development and International Solidarity advocates for the use of inter- and transdisciplinary educational tools in developing and assessing transversal competences in classroom practice. It materializes the results of the research carried out in the Erasmus+ project Acteurs du Territoire pour une Éducation à la Citoyenneté Mondiale (ACTECIM) by a team of academics with solid background in educational sciences: Olivier Morin and Sandie Bernard from the Claude Bernard University of Lyon 1 (France), Davide Della Rina, Roberto Trinchero, Selena Notaro and Alessio Tomassone from the University of Turin (Italy), and Monica Tilea, Claudiu Bunăiașu and Aida Stoian from the University of Craiova (Romania)

Reading the Brussels Palimpsest in the History of the Nouveau Plan de Bruxelles Industriel (1910)

This article restores the dialogical link between the Nouveau Plan de Bruxelles Industriel avec ses Suburbains, published on the occasion of the 1910 Industrial Exhibition (Verwest, Vanderoost, & Xhardez, 1910a), and the Inventaire Visuel de L’architecture Industrielle de L’agglomération de Bruxelles, produced by Maurice Culot and the team at the Archives d’Architecture Moderne (AAM) between 1980–1982 (Culot & the AMM, 1980–1982). These two kinds of spatialised visual inventories of places dedicated to production brings out a layer of the Brussels palimpsest filled with information that goes beyond the categories of permanence, persistence and disappearance raised by André Corboz and Alain Leveillé’s cartographic implementation of the palimpsest theory in the Atlas du Territoire Genevois (Corboz, 1993). This article compares palimpsest theory as applied to Geneva to the practice of inventory in Brussels. We propose visualising a lisuel layer intended as a visual reading revealed through a process of description, extraction, classification and juxtaposition. This process of visual analysis helps construct a typology of manufacturing production whose traces are embedded in urban space. It shows how a cartographic document informs the 1910 urban project and how local manufacturing companies contributed to its implementation. The contribution of this cartographic investigation is threefold. It concerns forms of manufacturing companies, forms of living, and production of urban space in 1910 Brussels. The Brussels Industrial Exhibition and the spatial story of Louis De Waele’s public works company reveals two patterns of relationships between industrial production and the transformation of urban space.

The Returns of the Roman de la Terre : Défricheurs and their Migrant Others in the Canadien Imaginary

The theme “parler la terre” presents an opportunity to reconsider Québec’s romans de la terre—farm novels from the turn of the Nineteenth Century into the Twentieth that are often considered to be the inaugural works of the province’s literary canon. Variously known as the “roman du territoire” or the “roman paysan”, this genre, with its idealized depictions of colonization and rural life, helped articulate what literary historian Dorothee Scholl would call the mythe du terroir—or in her own words, “the mythologizing of the soil as the site of French-Canadian national identity (103).” At the height of their popularity, these novels were heavily patronized by Catholic clergy, provincial politicians, and nationalist literary circles, who promoted the productions in order to discourage the rural flight of francophone Canadiens,1 encouraging them to instead migrate internally and agriculturally exploit the Laurentians region north of Montréal. There is now a vast body of critique that examines how the agriculturalist ideology expressed through these farm novels helped reify notions of Franco-Canadian identity and territoriality. Transcending these studies, critics have also begun to read romans de la terre against the grain, highlighting the multi-dimensionality of the discourses of land in this genre. Some critics even diverge from the agriculturalist debate all together—for example, Sudarsan Rangarajan who does so in order to draw links between the roman de la terre and the contemporaneous French roman d’aventures (767). My paper, however, maintains that there remains work to be done in complicating the novels’ agriculturalist fixation on land, in particular by reckoning with the settler-colonialist implications of this discourse. Before me, geographer Caroline Desbiens productively proposed that certain romans de la terre may be emphasized as romans de ressources—and rightfully so, as many of them do extol the extraction and economic mobilization of natural resources from newly colonized land (121). However, remarking that this exploitation is mediated by the movement of colonists across the national terroir, the question I raise instead is how romans de la terre may also be read as economic récits de la migration. Doing so will allow us to comprehend the place of human migration in the settler-colonialist imaginaries that informed Canadiens of their relationship with the land in the past, and perhaps even continue to shape Québécois territoriality in the present day. As a case study, I turn to the emblematic roman de la terre, Louis Hémon’s Maria Chapdelaine; understanding migration loosely as the displacement

Development of a knowledge base to support the consideration of groundwater protection in land-use planning

Groundwater is an essential resource for water supply, but it is vulnerable to the potential impacts of contaminant emissions from human activities. It is widely recognized that the effects of human activities on groundwater quality and quantity can be mitigated, in large part, by appropriate land-use planning because it plays a central role in groundwater protection and conservation. However, groundwater-related issues are not commonly considered in the land-use decision-making process. The main objective of this paper was to develop a decision-support system (DSS) to fill the gap between groundwater resources management, territorial development and the land-use institutional framework. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to establish a dialogue with decision makers to identify their needs. Then, by linking human activities and their related contaminants and impacts, it was possible to identify land-use planning actions that could support groundwater protection. This research resulted in a tool named “Base de connaissances—amenagement du territoire et eau souterraine” (BC-ATES) [Knowledge base—Land-use planning and groundwater]. This tool was tested using Microsoft Access. It includes all the information identified as relevant by land-use planners in the decision process regarding groundwater needs.

ATES: a geo-informatics decision aid tool for the integration of groundwater into land planning

Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water for small municipalities and individuals. However, groundwater can be polluted by almost any land use. Consequently, many governments have acquired groundwater information in the aim of protecting the resource. Nevertheless, the resulting data are often ill-fitted to planning needs. In a previous study, a method was developed to help planners interpret hydrogeological data. It combines land planning and hydrogeological data through multicriteria analysis, in order to obtain groundwater contamination risk maps. The method proved efficient and useful. However, it could not be easily implemented by land planners, who do not always have training with these types of data and geographical information system (GIS). This paper presents how the method was integrated into a web-based interface called Aménagement du Territoire et Eau Souterraine (ATES). ATES allows planners to view groundwater basic maps, evaluate the present contamination risk for groundwater, and analyse new planning scenarios. ATES also suggests mitigation measures and offers tools to discuss the possible solutions. The tool has been developed, tested and validated with land planners. To our knowledge, it is the first geo-informatics tool developed especially for planners that aims at facilitating the incorporation of groundwater into planning. Moreover, an innovative approach called MACBETH was used for data aggregation, a novelty in groundwater management and spatial data integration.

Shifting conditions, frameworks and approaches: The work of KPDV in postcolonial Africa

This paper discusses the trajectory and production of the French architecture firm Kalt—Pouradier-Duteil—Vignal. This firm was very prolific in Africa from the late colonial period right up to the 1980s, the author argues, because of its flexibility towards the constantly changing political, economic and socio-cultural context in which it operated. It was first active in the colonial context of mise-en-valeur du territoire, refashioned itself in the post-independence era to become a major consultant to the European Union’s development aid agency and ultimately realised various types of projects throughout West Africa for a wide range of clients, both African and foreign. While throughout this period, commissions for foreign architects in Africa were generally tied to a particular company, international (aid) organisation or (colonial) state agency—which meant that work opportunities ceased if the institutional framework disintegrated—KPDV managed to stay on the African scene for almost thirty years. By discussing a select number of projects designed by KPDV, the author will show that the office accomplished this by constantly reformulating its modes of design, research, building practices and project management in response to the quickly changing context in which it operated.

Regionalne zróżnicowanie kształcenia we Francji w aspekcie rozwoju przedsiębiorczości departamentów zamorskich

Regional policy concerning territorial development of the country, while reducing disparities in regional development in France has existed for nearly half a century. It beginnings reach 1963 when DATAR – an institution coordinating regional development of France was established (Délégation à l'aménagement du territoire et à l'action régionale). Additionally, European institutions have started to work, particularly from the 90s of the 20th century, on implementing the cohesion policy at the regional levels. Regional policy covers the entire territory of the Republic of France, including its former colonial territories of DOM: French overseas departments (départements d'outre-mer). DOM includes: Guadeloupe, French Guyana, Martinique and Reunion. These regions despite undertaken actions aiming at their economic development are still struggling with various issues. The most significant are the natural and historical constrains, economic dependence on France and the EU financial assistance, supremacy of agriculture, tourism and housing, unemployment and poverty of society and finally the social problems associated with multiculturalism. Actions undertaken by national and regional authorities are predominantly focused on developing the infrastructure and stimulating business development through knowledge transfer and investments in human capital. Recognizing the fact that investing in human is the most essential factor in the growth and socio-economic progress, the aim of this paper is to analyze regional differences in educational level and structure of the population of overseas and mainland France as well as its changes since the 90s basing on statistical data. The second part presents the regional comparison of the selected indicators of human capital development in the French economy with selected data showing the quantitative changes in the education of France.

Le "Bassin Parisien". Un percorso nella tradizione della ricerca e azione della Datar

The Parisien. A tour through the tradition of research and action of the Datar - The Parisien is an interpretative and project related image that is particularly laden with meaning and history and which for some time now has formed part of the amenagement du territoire in France and in Ile-de-France. Indeed, in so far as it straddles the fields of research, politics, economic development and planning, it in part represents amenagement. Put forward in the 1960s by the Datar (Delegation a l’Amenagement du Territoire et a l’Action Regionale), amenagement is today the subject matter of fresh contemplation by the refounded Datar, which has just launched a new series of studies and research projects targeted at understanding its actuality and operativeness in the wake of the challenges of the contemporary city. Project manager Eliane Dutarte traces its history and illustrates its potential. Key words: amenagement du territoire; Bassin Parisien; Datar.

Polycentricity: can we make it happen? From a concept to its implementation

This article argues that between the adoption of the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP; 1999) and today, the concept of polycentricity has changed: the footprint of the French aménagement du territoire, characterized by the quest for a more harmonious distribution of population and growth, has faded, leaving room for a more differentiated approach aiming to ‘make the best of territorial diversity’ in a globalized, competitive environment. Its implementation remains in the hands of national and local stakeholders and ensuring their commitment calls for a reinvigoration of governance. France has undergone a similar change and is trying to implement a new policy to enhance polycentricism.

Placing the Rural in Regional Development

Ward N. and Brown D. L. Placing the rural in regional development, Regional Studies. Urban and regional development studies tend to focus on the urban as driving innovation and growth, with surrounding areas cast in a passive, residual role. As a result, rural and urban development debates are often conducted separately. This paper introduces a special issue on rural development. It sets out current rural development thinking in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, and explores two trends affecting the place of rural areas in regional development – the differentiation of ruralities in the context of global changes and the changing nature of travel and communications – or mobilities. It then introduces the papers in the special issue. Ward N. et Brown D. L. Introduire l'espace rural dans l'aménagement du territoire, Regional Studies. Les études de l'aménagement du territoire ont tendance à focaliser l'espace urbain comme moteur de l'innovation et de la croissance, tandis que les zones environnantes jouent un rôle plutôt passif et résiduel. Par la suite, les débats sur l'aménagement rural et le développement urbain sont souvent organisés séparément. Cet article cherche à introduire un numéro spécial sur l'aménagement rural. On présente ici la tendance actuelle de l'opinion sur l'aménagement rural dans les pays membres de l'Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economique (OCDE), et examine deux tendances qui influencent le rôle des zones rurales dans l'aménagement du terrotioire – à savoir, la différenciation des zones rurales dans le cadre des changements mondiaux et le développement du transport et des communications – ou des déplacements.

In diesem Beitrag wird eine Sonderausgabe über die Entwicklung ländlicher Gebiete vorgestellt. Wir untersuchen die gegenwärtigen Denkweisen bei der ländlichen Entwicklung in den Staaten der Organisation für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (OECD) und zeigen zwei Trends auf, die sich auf den Platz der ländlichen Gebiete in der Regionalentwicklung auswirken: die Differenzierung ländlicher Gebiete im Kontext globaler Veränderungen und der Wandel im Bereich der Reisen und Kommunikation – bzw. der Mobilität.

Balanced Development in Globalizing Regional Development? Unpacking the New Regional Policy of South Korea

Lee Y.-S. Balanced development in globalizing regional development? Unpacking the new regional policy of South Korea, Regional Studies. This paper critically examines South Korea's adoption of ‘new regionalism’ as a basis for its regional policy initiatives. It is argued that this new regional policy poses dualism between endogenism and exogenism, and as such fails to reformulate and re-articulate theoretical and policy views on the globalization of regional development. Instead of dualism, a concept of ‘multi-scalar governance’ has been developed as an analytical lens through which regional development in the era of globalization can be analysed. Based on this viewpoint, the drawbacks of the new regional policy – the problems of triangular inter-scalar coordination – are specifically reviewed. For this analysis, archival re-examination and in-depth interviews with policy-makers have been employed. Lee Y.-S. Le développement équilibré dans la mondialisation de l'aménagement du territoire? Déballer la nouvelle politique régionale de la Corée du Sud, Regional Studies. Cet article cherche à examiner d'un oeil critique l'adoption par la Corée du Sud de la ‘nouvelle régionalisation’ comme cadre des actions de sa nouvelle politique régionale. Dans cet article, on affirme que cette nouvelle politique régionale présente le dualisme entre des approches endogène et exogène et, par la suite, ne réussit ni à reformuler, ni à réarticuler des perspectives théoriques et de politique sur la mondialisation de l'aménagement du territoire. A la place du dualisme, on développe la notion de ‘gouvernance à échelles multiples’ comme une lentille analytique par laquelle on pourrait analyser l'aménagement du territoire à l'époque de la mondialisation. Dans cette optique, on fait la critique en particulier des inconvénients de la nouvelle politique régionale – à savoir, les problèmes de la coordination triangulaire à échelles multiples. Dans cette analyse, on réexamine des archives et interviewe dans le détail les décideurs. Gouvernance à échelles multiples Politique régionale Aménagement du territoire Coordination à échelles mutiples Réseaux de production mondiaux Nouvelle régionalisation Lee Y.-S. Ausgeglichene Entwicklung bei der Globalisierung der Regionalentwicklung? Eine Untersuchung der neuen Regionalpolitik in Südkorea, Regional Studies. In diesem Artikel wird die Übernahme des ‘neuen Regionalismus’ in Südkorea als Grundlage für regionalpolitische Initiativen kritisch untersucht. Ich argumentiere in meinem Beitrag, dass diese neue Regionalpolitik einen Dualismus zwischen Endogenismus und Exogenismus verursacht und somit nicht in der Lage ist, die theoretischen und politischen Perspektiven der Globalisierung der Regionalentwicklung neu zu formulieren und zu artikulieren. Anstelle eines Dualismus habe ich ein Konzept der ‘multiskalaren Regierungsführung’ als analytisches Objektiv entwickelt, durch das sich die Regionalentwicklung im Zeitalter der Globalisierung analysieren lässt. Ausgehend von dieser Perspektive werden die Nachteile der neuen Regionalpolitik – die Probleme der triangulären, interskalaren Koordination – spezifisch überprüft. Für diese Analyse haben ich Archive neu untersucht und Tiefeninterviews mit politischen Entscheidungsträgern geführt.

Análisis de la nueva política regional en Corea del Sur, Regional Studies. En este artículo analizo desde un punto de vista crítico la adopción del ‘nuevo regionalismo’ por parte de Corea del Sur como base para las iniciativas políticas a nivel regional. Sostengo que esta nueva política regional plantea un dualismo entre endogenismo y exogenismo y, por tanto, no puede reformular y rearticular perspectivas teóricas y políticas sobre la globalización del desarrollo regional. En vez de dualismo, he desarrollado un concepto de ‘gobernanza multiescalar’ como objetivo analítico a través del cual puede analizarse el desarrollo regional en la era de la globalización. Desde este punto de vista, reviso en concreto los inconvenientes de la nueva política regional: los problemas de la coordinación interescalar. Para este análisis he llevado a cabo una nueva investigación de archivo y entrevistas exhaustivas con responsables políticos.

Applying Spatial Economics to National Spatial Planning

Clinch J. P. and O'Neill E. Applying spatial economics to national spatial planning, Regional Studies. Despite the impressive development of the field of spatial economics, some have criticized the lack of policy applications. In addition, the literature has not yet identified the relevance of New Economic Geography, and spatial economics generally, for national spatial planning. This is surprising considering the interest in spatial planning policy in Europe. By combining old theories of trade and space with New Economic Geography, this paper applies spatial economics to national spatial planning and examines a case study of Ireland. The paper suggests that spatial economics provides a useful theoretical framework for the analysis of national spatial planning policy, but suffers from deficiencies in respect of its consideration of social and environmental aspects of planning and development. Clinch J. P. et O'Neill E. Appliquer l'économie géographique à l'aménagement du territoire, Regional Studies. En dépit du progrès impressionnant de l'économie géographique, certains ont commenté le manque d'applications de politique. En outre, la documentation n'a pas encore identifié l'importance pour l'aménagement du territotoire ni de la nouvelle géographie économique, ni de l'économie géographique en général. Cela est à surprendre étant donné l'intérêt porté à l'aménagement du territoire en Europe. Alliant les théories reçues à propos du commerce et de la géographie avec la nouvelle géographie économique, cet article cherche à appliquer l'économie géographique à l'aménagement du territoire et examine l'Irlande comme étude de cas. L'article laisse supposer que l'économie géographique fournit un cadre théorique utile pour analyser l'aménagement du territoire mais manque de considération des aspects sociaux et environnementaux de la planification et du développement.

Trotz der beeindruckenden Entwicklungen im Gebiet der Raumökonomie wird gelegentlich eine Kritik am Mangel an politischen Anwendungen laut. Hinzu kommt, dass die Relevanz der neuen Wirtschaftsgeografie und der Raumökonomie im Allgemeinen für eine nationale Raumplanung in der Literatur noch nicht identifiziert wurde. Angesichts des Interesses für Raumplanungspolitik in Europa ist dies überraschend. In diesem Aufsatz wird die Raumökonomie durch eine Kombination der alten Theorien von Handel und Raum mit der neuen Wirtschaftsgeografie auf die nationale Raumplanung angewandt, wobei eine Fallstudie in Irland untersucht wird. Wir stellen die These auf, dass die Raumökonomie einen nützlichen theoretischen Rahmen zur Analyse der nationalen Raumplanungspolitik bietet, aber an Mängeln leidet, was die Berücksichtigung von Gesellschafts- und Umweltaspekten der Planung und Entwicklung anbelangt.

Analysing Regional Development and Policy: A Structural–Realist Approach

Moulaert F. and Mehmood A. Analysing regional development and policy: a structural–realist approach, Regional Studies. This paper gives an overview of theories and models that can be used to analyse regional development as well as to design policies and strategies for the future of regions and localities. It evaluates the analytical and policy relevance of these models, and as it moves towards analytical synthesis, it makes some recommendations for a structural–realist approach to spatial development analysis. It offers a methodological framework for contemporary spatial development analysis by combining regulationist, cultural political economy and network theoretical approaches, and taking full cognisance of the structural–institutional, scalar, and cultural dimensions of development processes and strategies. Moulaert F. et Mehmood A. Analyser l'aménagement du territoire: une façon structuralo-réaliste, Regional Studies. Cet article fournit une vue d'ensemble des théories et des modèles à employer afin d'analyser l'aménagement du territoire aussi bien que de mettre au point des politiques et des stratégies en faveur de l'avenir des régions et des endroits. On évalue l'importance analytique et de politique de ces modèles et, au fur et à mesure que l'on commence à penser une synthèse analytique, on fait quelques recommandations en faveur d'une façon structuralo-réaliste pour analyser le développement spatial. On propose un cadre méthodologique pour analyser le développement spatial contemporain en associant des façons réglementaires, d'économie politique culturelle, et théoriques de réseaux, tout en tenant compte des aspects structuralo-institutionnels, scalaires et culturelles des processus et des stratégies de développement.

Der Artikel bietet einen methodologischen Rahmen zur Analyse der aktuellen räumlichen Entwicklung, indem er die regulationistischen, kulturpolitisch-wirtschaftlichen und netzwerktheoretischen Ansätze miteinander kombiniert und zugleich die strukturell-institutionellen, skalaren und kulturellen Dimensionen der Entwicklungsprozesse und -strategien vollständig zur Kenntnis nimmt.

Este artículo contiene un resumen de las teorías y los modelos que pueden servir para analizar el desarrollo regional y diseñar las políticas y estrategias para el futuro de las regiones y localidades. Evaluamos la relevancia analítica y política de estos modelos y según se va desplazando hacia una síntesis analítica hacemos recomendaciones sobre un planteamiento realista y estructural para el análisis del desarrollo espacial. Aquí ofrecemos una estructura metodológica para el análisis contemporáneo del desarrollo espacial al combinar enfoques regulatorios, de la economía política cultural y planteamientos teóricos de redes a la vez que intentamos reconocer completamente las dimensiones institucionales-estructurales, escalares y culturales de los procesos y estrategias del desarrollo.

A turning point in the development of European spatial planning? The ‘Territorial Agenda of the European Union’ and the ‘First Action Programme’

The European Union has always had a territorial agenda, albeit implicit. Existing spatial planning systems in Europe, in particular French aménagement du territoire, have shaped the thinking about how to tackle it more systematically, lately under the flag of an EU territorial cohesion policy. Drawing on work by the European Spatial Planning Observation Network (ESPON), the member states collectively have produced an ‘evidence-based’ document, ‘The territorial state and perspectives of the European Union’. This forms the basis of a political document entitled the ‘Territorial Agenda of the European Union: Towards a more competitive and sustainable Europe of diverse regions’. The subsequent First Action Programme came at a time when it appeared that the Treaty of Lisbon would make EU territorial cohesion policy official. This paper gives an account of the process, pointing out that a turning point has been reached, in that the member states have come to accept the need for EU territorial cohesion policy. Section 1 sets out the theoretical framework and the research approach. Section 2 sets the scene as regards the EU and it institutions. Section 3 looks at spatial planning systems in Europe and, in particular—since it has been instrumental in formulating EU regional and territorial cohesion policy—French aménagement du territoire. Section 4 identifies the implicit EU territorial agenda and how this has been articulated further by the member states formulating the ESDP. Section 5 gives an account of the fledgling EU territorial cohesion policy. Section 6 focuses on the member state initiative to produce the ‘evidence-based’ document, ‘The territorial state and perspectives of the European Union’, which forms the basis for the Territorial Agenda. As a background to this, the section discusses ESPON, which provided the research base for this undertaking. Sections 7 to 9 are about the Territorial Agenda process as such, particularly its making, the substantive policies and the institutional measures proposed therein, and the First Action Programme adopted in the wake of the Territorial Agenda. Section 10 identifies challenges ahead, followed by the final section, which explores issues whose resolution is not immediately in sight.
