"Investing in walkable cities, whether through allocating funds to repaint pedestrian walkways or building affordable housing close to downtowns, also attracts diverse populations and creates jobs. According to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, 63 percent of millennials and 42 percent of boomers would like to live in a place where they don’t need a car. And according to the National Association of Realtors, 62 percent of millennials prefer to live in a walkable community where a car is optional. If cities seem less automobile-dependent, chances are they are more appealing to a range of ages."

What are the biggest challenges and how can science help shape the cities that are to be built this century? And what can the global north and the global south mutually learn from our different experiences of urbanization?

S’il existe un phénomène géographique universel, c’est bien la ville. Et il ne va que s’amplifier : selon les Nations unies, 54 % des habitants de la planète sont urbains en 2014, un taux qui n’était que de 30 % en 1950 et devrait atteindre 66 % en 2050 (1). Habiter la Terre se fera donc principalement dans ces territoires présentant une certaine densité de constructions, d’individus et de réseaux. Les villes ne semblent avoir aucune limite. Pourtant, une réflexion s’impose.
