L''Urbaniste Et Ses Metiers Paperback

Karell Knobloch

The study of professional practice in urban planning covers several perspectives. The challenge is to identify the actors and describe their practices within a professional space, analyzing their specificity and the vectors of their legitimacy. The objective is then to show that urbanism constitutes a field, whose approach to the interactions between territory and society marks a theoretical and methodological renewal and helps to redefine its own object. The hypothesis is made that the organization of territories is tied up since the nineteenth century around complex issues, requiring mediations and new skills. In this, the emergence of a professional profile is to be studied in the dynamics of the professional space, and of the field which is structured then, the urbanism becoming a discipline with a scientific status. At the heart of a competition for the control of decisions or tools, the discourse of urban planners is analyzed with regard to the logics put in place in their exercise to legitimize their activity and references to urbanism that make it possible to grasp the identity of this field.
