Our world is an
urban world. Since 2007, the world's population has been predominantly urban.
This transfer of population, from the rural world to the urban world, is a
phenomenon that has been going on for more than 100 years, but it has not
affected the world in the same way. The urbanization of the world has been done
differently and unevenly. the process today concerns Asia and especially
Africa. The old regions of Europe and North America experienced their urban
transition at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
Although urban growth is strong on the continent (Africa), the share of the rural population remains high but the continent's urbanization continues inexorably.
This course aims to understand the urbanization of the world at different scales. The key concepts developed are urbanization, metropolization, socio-spatial fragmentation. Cases studies are preferred in Africa and the rest of the world.
