Urban-Planning for the 21st Century : ESSEC and publisher Editions de l’Aube launch a new collection

Cities and more generally, regional districts, are home to the majority of the population, are the hubs of activity, and collective intelligence, regulate the economy and dictate social interaction norms. However, they can also, on a worldwide level, contribute to increasing economic inequality and become the object of social and political conflict.

They are at the heart of some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. ESSEC’s Urban Economy Chair encourages local public bodies and companies to improve management policies and increase the efficiency of their contractual relationships, by promoting stability and prosperity in cities and districts. ESSEC has therefore decided to join forces with French publisher, Editions de l’Aube, to launch the collection, Villes et Territoires (‘Towns and Districts’) under the direction of Franck Vallérugo.
