Local production and appropriation of global urbanism

" Smart city ", " green city ", " productive city ", " feminist urbanism ", " crisis urbanism ", so many referentials of contemporary urbanism studied in this dossier that testify to the influence of territorial marketing, but also to a deterritorialization of the urban factory. In the context of widespread inter-urban and inter-state competition, not only major international metropolises (Toronto, Paris, Brussels, Singapore or Seoul), but also regional or secondary metropolises (Curitiba, Lagos, Bogota or Phnom Penh), and even national metropolises or medium-sized towns, are taking part in this "globalized urbanism". The production of models is also evolving towards an increasingly institutionalized and professionalized process, with international consultations and networks, and private and public players in expertise and consultancy asserting themselves as promoters or prescribers of the " good city " of tomorrow.
