In concrete terms, this will lead to questions about the diversity of urban productive activities, their organisation and spatialisation, the jobs they generate and their integration into the urban economy and urban morphology. The MasterClass will also addresses the opportunities and constrains that urban location continues to offer for certain productive activities. Finally, the MasterClass will be an opportunity to question the cohabitation and/or conflicts between the productive activities and other urban functions, in a context of land pressure, transition of mobility and support for the extension of spaces dedicated to medium or luxury housing.ConditionsFor a valid application, the candidate must: - be, either already holder of a Master degree, or currently enrolled in a Master program / a PhD program - have a fluent English level and knowledge of French - assure his/her continuous presence during the two weeks of the MasterClass.
