The Master in Governing the Large Metropolis aims to prepare young professionals to work in tough environments. The purpose of the program is training young professionals who will take charge of public policy design and implementation in the governance of large cities in the future. It is a world wide unique training to support technical and political skills.
Fast growing metropolises are facing huge problems. Public and private actors struggle with enormous problems of urbanisation to provide fundamental utilities and basic collective goods. Water, electricity, sewage, mobility infrastructures, health and social services, education, environmental risks... every sector is challenged by the intensity and the rhythm of demographic, economic, technological and climate changes.
MAIN ORIENTATIONS AND SPECIFIC FEATURES
The master combines:
Social sciences (with disciplinary courses in sociology, political science, law, economics, policy analysis, and geography applied to metropolitan development)
Regional studies (on African Metropolis, Arab and Mediterranean Metropolis, South Asian Metropolis, South-East Asian Metropolis, Latin American Metropolis, Chinese Metropolis and North American Metropolis)
Policy Sectors (on Cultural Policies, Housing Policies, Mobility Policies, Urban Utilities (water, energy, sewage), Smart City Programs, Resilience, Local Welfare and Urban Social Policies, Immigrant Integration, Environmental Policies, Urban and Metropolitan Planning)
Rigorous methodological training in qualitative, quantitative and GIS (Geographic information system) methods
Management and professional skills (Professional training is provided in the first year through a capstone; in the second year, case studies and workshops are taught by professionals coming from international organisations -UNESCO, OECD, UNHabitat-, NGOs and private companies).
