Program Objectives
The Urban Policy and Territorial Governance program offers a professional track that trains future high-level executives and experts who are ready to take up the challenge of urban change and work towards the city of tomorrow. Students in the research track receive all of the theoretical and methodological training they will need to pursue a doctorate. The program helps students understand different levels of governance and different urban policies (planning, housing, city, transport, sustainable development, etc.).

The territorial assessment and the urban project conducted in partnership with major players in planning actors are key component of the program. In order to pass the year, students can choose to write a research thesis or complete a six-month internship.
