Smart cities: technological innovation and sustainable urban development
Le concept de ville intelligente s’impose progressivement comme un paradigme essentiel dans la réflexion et la planification urbaines contemporaines. Comment les concepts de ville intelligente peuvent-ils être adaptés aux réalités socio-économiques, culturelles et infrastructurelles des villes camerounaises et africaines, y compris les établissements informels et les économies mixtes formelles-informelles ? Quels sont les risques d'exclusion numérique et de renforcement des inégalités socio-spatiales ? Voilà les dimensions non exhaustives qui pourraient meubler les communications attendues dans le cadre de cette journée scientifique.

Market gardening and fruit trees in urban and peri-urban areas
Socio-environmental issues and planning challenges
The evolution of market gardening and fruit trees is a rapidly expanding field of research, hence the need for in-depth studies to identify and maximize their positive impacts in disparate urban contexts (geographical and climatic) marked by often difficult conditions and particularly strong competition between different possible uses of resources. They play an essential socio-cultural role by reflecting important heritage, symbolic, and identity values. Finally, they bring local communities together around participatory and innovative projects involving citizens, public decision-makers, associations, and researchers.

Feeding urban territories in North Africa
Crossed perspectives from Algeria and Egypt
This collective volume explores urban food supply systems in North Africa, with a particular focus on Algeria and Egypt, where rapid processes of metropolization and megalopolization intensify pressures on food resources. Through a territorially grounded approach, the book aims to examine the challenges of food security in cities facing urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, rising food demand, and increasing dependence on imports. The objective is to provide a cross-cutting analysis of territorial dynamics, supply chains, urban–rural reconfigurations, and the limitations of public policies in addressing urban food systems. Contributions are expected to adopt empirical, comparative, or modelling approaches, addressing themes such as urban planning, multi-level governance, food justice, short supply chains, and the regulation of informal economies, all within a broader perspective of strengthening the resilience of urban food systems.

Health, Agriculture and Food in Island Territories: Ecological, Political and Social Issues
This dossier aims to examine the specific configurations of island agri-food systems through an interdisciplinary approach combining geography, sociology, anthropology, public health, political ecology and political science. It focuses equally on agricultural policies and social practices, representations and conflicts of use, and the knowledge circulating in island agricultural communities. It welcomes contributions on all island territories, whether French-speaking or not, independent or not, in a postcolonial or dependent context.

Plans, Projects and Trajectories through the Lens of Agroecology and Landscape
Âge2SCoT Symposium
The Âge2SCoT project explores the (debatable) hypothesis of a "second age" of SCoTs and aims to sketch this early outlines twenty years after their creation. To this end, the Symposium aims to explore the relationship between plan/project and trajectory through three interrelated prisms : agroecologu, (large-scale) landscape, and counter-narrative(s) in the field of spatial planning.

(Re)Connecting River and City - The Seine in Paris and the Ile-de-France
A Model for Nature Positive Approaches in World Heritage Cities for Climate Resilience
À l’heure du changement climatique, il est urgent de repenser la relation des habitants et du patrimoine bâti avec les rivières, les mers et les autres étendues d’eau. Les approches écosystémiques peuvent aider à (re)créer des espaces habitables, durables et justes, en accord avec des pratiques historiques, tout en protégeant, en adaptant et en apprenant de l’histoire et du patrimoine. Le patrimoine parisien des rives de la Seine offre une étude de cas précieuse pour explorer à la fois les défis et les opportunités de vivre avec l’eau.

Degrowth in Mountain Tourism: Future Challenges and Prospects of Tourism in Mountain Regions
Global tourism has growth to a level that questions the current and future sustainability of the industry and its impacts for our environment. While the developmental aspects of tourism have been largely based on the scale of visitors flows, there is an increasing need to think the limits to growth in tourism and alternative development paradigms for future tourism. This kind of questioning of the impacts of growth, in general, is not new (First Report to the Club of Rome, 1972; First World Climate Conference [Geneva] 1979; Brundtland Report 1987), but there are new ways to reconceptualise alternative futures for development. In tourism, one of the recently emerged idea is based on a degrowth thinking in economic and social development discussion in the 2000s (Latouche, 2022; Bernard et al., 2003)

"Géocarrefour" Journal
Cet appel vise à prolonger les observations de Mathieu Quet à partir de l’étude des circulations des objets de seconde main à des échelles internationales et transnationales, qui soulèvent plusieurs enjeux. Ces objets connaissent, acquièrent ou perdent différents statuts (importation légale, contrebande, contrefaçon), formes (déchets, marchandises…) et valeurs tout le long de leur parcours, et des routes empruntés. Les circulations sont la condition même d’une requalification et valorisation de l’objet, qui ne passe pas seulement d’un marché à un autre mais aussi d’un système normatif et d’évaluation à un autre.

Sustainable urban dynamics and real estate
Sustainability has been a key issue in contemporary urban planning for several decades. This concept, which encompasses economic, social and territorial dimensions, may seem overused and even misused. However, it still represents a key area of scientific research. Many scientific studies in the field of geography have demonstrated the link between climate change, human activities and land use. This session aims to deepen territorial sustainability through the prism of real estate activities. Indeed, while the real estate sector generates a high level of pollution, it also induces several innovations (technological, territorial, health-related, etc.) that redesign the sustainable city beyond its purely ecological dimension.

For a geography of territorial transitions?
Conceptual frameworks, methodological challenges and critical perspectives
Les territoires sont-ils des accélérateurs de la transition ? C’est ce que semblent suggérer les nombreuses réflexions actuelles sur les contributions du territoire - de ses acteurs, de ses proximités, de ses héritages, de ses ressources et de ses échelles -, aux transitions des modes d’habiter, de produire et de consommer, des systèmes de gouvernance et des rapports au vivant, etc. Mais quels sont les ressorts analytique, méthodologique et éthique de cet engouement territorial ? Traduit-il l’émergence d’une « géographie des transitions territoriales » ? Quels en seraient les contours, les caractéristiques et les visions de la transition véhiculées ? Avec quelle pertinence et quelles limites pour affronter l’urgence écologique et les enjeux de justice associés ?

Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques face aux risques majeurs. Le retour de la distance
Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques se caractérisent par un éloignement certain des espaces métropolitains et des grands centres de commandement. Cela se traduit par des formes d’isolement, de marginalisation, et par une plus faible intégration à l’économie globale. La proximité n’est alors ni simple à définir, ni une protection contre les inégalités et les injustices spatiales. Elle reste un enjeu contemporain et futur. Dans cette perspective, sont attendues des propositions mettant en valeur ces fragmentations sur un de ces espaces périphériques ou ultrapériphériques. La proposition peut être faite à l’échelle de l’espace ou à une échelle plus fine, mais toujours interactive. D’autres propositions peuvent s’intéresser aux politiques mises en œuvre, avec les effets espérés.

Between communication and participation
Usages du « transmedia storytelling » en aménagement et urbanisme
Ce colloque s'intéresse au croisement de la communication et de la participation, aux usages du transmedia storytelling en urbanisme. La recherche en études urbaines s’est largement intéressée à la manière dont l’exercice de l’urbanisme, tant du point de vue de la planification que du projet, s’apparentait aux pratiques narratives. De plus en plus régulièrement, la planification et le projet urbain recourent au récit pour communiquer leurs intentions. Or le récit ne mobilise pas qu’un seul support. Il est traduit en différents médias. Notre hypothèse est que cette traduction vise l’implication du public dans l’élaboration de récits parallèles. Ce sont les interactions entre un « système médiatique », une diversité de « plateformes », une hétérogénéité des « publics » et une multiplicité des « modes d’engagement » qui doivent être analysées.

Covid-19 Pandemic: a Multidisciplinary Perspective on Adaptation to Climate Change
Special issue of “Climate”
Many forms of weather phenomena such as floods, large waves, prolonged droughts and extreme temperatures are having an impact on human life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the actions we should take to adapt to these situations and reduce the influences caused by them are very critical. Based on the current situation, many countries around the world are trying to engage with strategies, actions and reflections to reduce impacts on the urban environment and to identify the best actions to improve urban resilience and civilian well-being. However, the situation is not the same in all countries, forcing some to step up their interventions and learn from the actions taken by others.
