The objective of this workshop is to review the scientific work conducted by the ocean-atmosphere community on urban environments and their evolution. The objective is also to strengthen the links with other scientific communities that are at the heart of urban issues (hydrology, water quality, vegetation, ...). This concerns cities in their great diversity, megacities, coastal cities, southern cities, mountain cities.
It is also an opportunity to understand the multidisciplinary and multisectoral structures (links with operational and territorial actors, etc.) in which this work is carried out.
There is, of course, a programmatic context, since the INSU has the ambition to implement an urban project to support the research actions of our community and to respond to the important societal questions that arise in these environments. This workshop must therefore also contribute to building and nourishing this reflection and to starting the actions that will be associated with it.
The workshop is organized in five sessions that should allow us to present the scientific questions and the tools of our community to study urban environments (Sessions 1 to 3) but also to understand and define how our studies find their place in a more integrated vision of the city (other disciplines, operational and institutional actors, citizens) in session 4. Session 5 will propose a more practical reflection on the implementation of the INSU's urban project and the Institute's prospective on this theme.
