Today, urban engineering plays a central role in the creation and functioning of cities, in the design of projects, and in the development of urban policies. From energy to transportation, fromcommunication networks to flow management, a wide range of technical fields are now mobilized to shape cities. The challenges they address lie at the heart of urban planning: managing urbanized areas exposed to natural risks and climate change, building energy-efficient cities, designing projects on polluted industrial land, and questioning the model of industry within the city.
