WHY ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM?

Asset n° 1 

A program committed to ecological transition, closely aligned with the practices and tools used by project owners for urban redevelopment ;

Asset n°2

A program that brings together diverse and complementary skills and profiles, as well as a high-level teaching team comprising teachers and professional contributors, experts, and practitioners, with a wide range of teaching tools.

Asset n°3

Excellent career prospects, with access to Urba-Ponts and the network of urban planners who are graduates of the École nationale des ponts et chaussées.

The educational program was revamped in 2024 to place ecological transition at the heart of learning. It aims to promote ecological innovation through territorial projects, bringing together learners from a range of disciplines (engineers, architects, landscape architects, geographers, lawyers, economists, political scientists, etc.) and researchers and professionals in urban planning, regional development, and ecological engineering, so that they can work together to find practical solutions to urgent problems.

Objectives

The program aims to: 

  • Provide an understanding of French urban issues and link them to the challenges of ecological transition and social equity;
  • Provide systemic knowledge on the ecological crisis and possible solutions to address it in urban areas (climate, biodiversity, resources, pollution);
  • Address the theory and practice of urban project management, particularly through various project experiences.

The course is divided into five main training blocks: 

  • Disciplinary and operational knowledge of urban issues
  • Initiating urban redirection
  • Tools for analysis, dialogue, and project management
  • Ecological knowledge (energy, low-carbon mobility, biodiversity, water, resources, etc.)
  • Project practice as a project owner

The master's degree generally leads to immediate employment, but it is also possible to pursue doctoral studies.

Career opportunities exist in organizations such as:

  • Local authorities, public development companies and institutions;
  • Urban planning agencies, public and private agencies and consulting firms providing project management assistance (development, urban planning, landscaping, transportation, environment, etc.);
  • Public and private companies involved in urban and regional projects with complex interfaces (transport operators, land structures, developers, landlords, promoters, etc.).
