Collection of Carnet Métropolitains Booklets: Perspectives on Mediterranean Metropolises
A unique insight from urban development professionals on the metropolitan transformations across the three shores of the Mediterranean.
The Carnet Métropolitains booklets originate from a decade of knowledge generated during the Metropolitan Seminars, organized by AVITEM in collaboration with the French Development Agency (AFD). Since 2014, these seminars have served as a platform for training and exchange among auditors, urban planning professionals, and territorial development experts from around the Mediterranean basin.
As a synthesis of collective learnings, reflections, and proposals, the booklets offer an accessible analytical framework for professionals, researchers, students, and informed citizens alike.
Booklets of 4 Mediterranean Metropolises
In the diverse Mediterranean space, each territory offers a unique discovery. Our Carnet Métropolitains booklets provide an exploration without preconceived development models, structured around four key themes:
- Refiguring: Geographical, historical, political, and demographic analyses of territories over the long term, addressing contemporary challenges.
- Re-exploring: Symbolic interpretations of a territory’s DNA, political visions, and strategic stakes.
- Re-experimenting: How metropolitan structures and public policies are built.
- Op-port-unity: Projects that strengthen metropolitan connections in the face of future challenges, featuring professional testimonies.
