General Overview Help Center Urbanization is reaching a new peak in the contemporary world with the rise of mega cities. Researchers try to make sense of these large urban areas using a variety of concepts. The class will review debates and present social science models of cities to analyse and compare contemporary developments.

Globalization, Europeanization processes support the rapid developments of cities in different part of the world. Urbanization is reaching a new high in the contemporary world with the rise of mega cities (beyond 15 million inhabitants) such as Calcutta, Los Angeles, Dhaka, Cairo, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Mexico or Seoul. Beyond the modern metropolis, researchers try to make sense of these large urban areas using a variety of concepts such as the ‘postmetropolis’, ‘global cities’, and ‘global city-regions’. The class will review debates and present social science models of cities and metropolis to analyse and compare contemporary developments. How can do we study those cities when they become mega urban regions, does size matter and for what? Do we see the making of a vast urban world or by contrast beyond the apparent convergence of complex globalisation processes understood in relation to globalised capitalism, is it possible to identify masked differentiations and the strengthening of different urban worlds? How do we make sense of this urban world when cities are not independent units but have to be understood both in terms of territories, rootedness, and at the same time in terms of relations to take into account flux, mobility, circulations ? What is the relevance of social science concepts developed in the Western world to analyse the transformation of Lagos? To what extent may the systematic development of new forms of comparison between northern cities and cities from the South change social sciences and contribute to overcome the bias towards national comparison? For the time being, given current conditions of capitalism, political, economic, cultural and social questions are increasingly becoming urban questions. In the modern conception of the world/globalcity, characterised by size, the aggregation of housing, differentiated divisions of labour, and the density of interaction, several conceptions of cities exist which have become entangled and sometimes opposed to each other. These different conceptions underline different processes of integration: the material city of walls, squares, houses, roads, light, utilities, buildings, waste, and physical infrastructure; the cultural city in terms of imaginations, differences, representations, ideas, symbols, arts, texts, senses, religion, and aesthetics; the politics and policies of the city in terms of domination, power, government, mobilisation, public policies, welfare, education; the social city of riots, ethnic, economic and gender inequalities, everyday life and social movements; and the economy of the city : the division of labour, scale, production, consumption, trade..... Classic urban questions about inequalities, housing, government, integration, are combined with issues about the urban fabric, questions of mobility and rootedness, sustainable development and risks, the making of the cyborg cities, questions of social control and riots, urban culture, innovation and urban economic development.

Sciences Po

Sciences Po est une institution d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales qui consacre 35% de son budget à la recherche.
Fondée en 1871, elle forme depuis 140 ans les responsables de demain, dans le secteur privé comme dans la haute administration, la politique et la recherche.
Sciences Po se caractérise par une internationalisation poussée : sur les 12 000 étudiants que compte l’établissement, 46% sont des étudiants internationaux et viennent de plus de 150 pays. Sciences Po investit dans la responsabilité sociale et fait de la diversité sociale et culturelle une composante structurante de son identité. 27 % des étudiants éligibles sont boursiers à Sciences Po. Ils étaient 6% en l’an 2000.

Sciences Po contribue au débat public par sa recherche et par la variété des débats et conférences qui y sont organisés chaque année.
Depuis une dizaine d’années, Sciences Po s’emploie à intégrer les outils numériques à ses enseignements (espaces de travail partagés, eCours, Moodle, Cartothèque en ligne, cartographie des controverses, projet Forccast etc.) et s’est donc naturellement intéressé au format proposé par les MOOCs et aux nouvelles possibilités offertes en matière d’innovation pédagogique.
