I takt med att komplexiteten av samhälls- och stadsplaneringen har ökat, har även planerarens rollbeskrivning utvecklats och diversifierats. Politisering av planeringen har beskyllts orsakaatt kompetenser inom planering inte tas tillvara på samt för att osäkerhet spridits inomprofessionen. Utvecklingen verkar dock inte ge utrymme för lösningar av exempelvis dennaproblembeskrivning genom förändringar av professionen på institutionella eller kulturellanivåer. Detta eftersom att bredare kompetensbehov och rollbeskrivningar samt flerinvolverade aktörer komplexifierar nätverken som förbinder planerarna. Vidare försvårarkomplexiteten konkreta definitioner av planerarrollen. Så undersökningar om planerare kanmotiveras av att det underlaget bättre kan avhjälpa analysering om professionens möjligautveckling. Möjligen kan även professionens identitet förändras vid utbildning av nyaplanerare och då blir kunskap om de som söker sig till utbildningarna grundläggande.Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka vem planeraren är, avgränsat tillsamhällsplaneraren från KTH för att svara på hur planerarens bakgrund och intressen kandefiniera samhällsplanerarna som grupp. Utbildningens relevans för samhälls- ochstadsplanering har även det undersökts och den undersökta gruppens relation till planering harbeaktats.I arbetet har en enkät konstruerats för att samla in information om planerarna från KTH.Frågorna i enkäten gav svar som kopplade till frågeställningarna för syftet. Analys avresultatet från enkäten gjordes även för att se hur olika faktorer relaterar till varandra.Ämnesområdena hållbarhet, sociala frågor, engagemang och värderingar har varit av särskiltintresse.Slutsatserna var de att det går att finna några faktorer som troligtvis påverkar vilka somstuderar till planerare på KTH, att planerarnas intressen som relaterar till planering omfattarmycket och att de undersökta intressena inte i stor grad verkar ligga till grund för bland annatvad de arbetar med, samt att utbildningen ger goda arbetsmöjligheter för nästan samtliga somgått den. / With the increase of complexity in urban planning, changes in and diversification of theplanner’s role have also taken place. Politicization has been blamed for the neglection of theplanners’ competencies and for causing uncertainty amongst professionals. The developmentseems not to allow for resolvement of this problem as an example, by changes in theprofession on institutional or cultural levels. This since wider needs for competence anddescriptions of the planner’s role together with more parties being involved in planningfurther complicates the networks that connect planning professionals. Complexity also makesthe role of the planner harder to define and therefore research concerning planners can bemotivated as it might, better than further observations of the role of the planner, aid inanalyzing the possible development of the profession. Perhaps the identity of the planners canbe changed with the education of new professionals and that would also further the need forknowledge of those studying planning.The aim of the study has been to investigate who the planner is, delimited to the urban plannerfrom KTH, to give an answer to how the background and the interests of the planner candefine the urban planners as a group. The relevance of the education to urban planning and therespondents’ relation to planning have also been taken into account.A survey was sent out to gather information about the planners from KTH. Results from thequestionnaire mapped to the objectives of the aim of the study and the analysis was made toalso show how different factors relate to each other. The topics of sustainability, social issues,commitment and values were of particular interest.The conclusions where that some factors probably affects who studies urban planning atKTH, that the planners’ interests are many and that they don’t seem to be determining forwhat their occupations are and more, and that the education at KTH gives good workopportunities to almost everyone that has studied there.

Cette thèse vise à contribuer à la connaissance de l’École des Hautes Études Urbaines (1919-1924) et de l’Institut d’Urbanisme de l’Université Paris (1924-1919). Elle explore notamment les travaux de fin d’études, études menées entre le début des années 1920 et les années 1970. Ce corpus de travaux de fin d’études, c’est-à-dire, les thèses, font l’objet de la recherche de ce travail. Les thèses sont d’ailleurs l’aboutissement d’un parcours plus large qui mène à l’obtention d’un diplôme délivré par l’Université de Paris et qui prend le nom de « Diplôme d’étude spéciales d’Urbanisme ». Notre contribution cherche à rendre compte de la nature des exercices pédagogiques de fin d’études soutenus de 1922 à 1972, des profils des diplômés en urbanisme du XXe siècle et des relations entre les cours et les systèmes d’enseignement dans le champ particulier qu’est l’urbanisme. Elle a été réalisée dans différentes archives de Paris, mais principalement à partir des ressources de la Bibliothèque Poëte et Sellier, fonds historique de l’École d’Urbanisme de Paris (EUP), connu sous le nom de Fonds ancien de l’IUP.Les thèses étaient un produit spécifique de l’EHEU/IUUP et constituent un corps théorique essentiel et de référence qui donne des indices sur l'histoire de l'urbanisme en France et dans divers pays d'Amérique, d'Europe, d'Afrique et d'Asie, car, d'une part, elles s'inscrivent dans une longue période d'évolution des doctrines de l'urbanisme et, d'autre part, elles ont été réalisées par des étudiants venant d'horizons différents, qui, au fil du temps, ont tissé un réseau complexe de circulation de savoirs, de connaissances et de savoir-faire. / The aim of the present thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of l’Ecole des Hautes Études Urbaines [School of Advanced Urban Studies] (1919-1924) and l’Institut d'Urbanisme de l'Université Paris [Urban Planning Institute of the University of Paris] (1924 -1919), exploring in particular the completion studies carried out between the early 1920s and the 1970s. The subject of study of this research comprises this body of works, that is, the urban planning thesis. Indeed, the theses are the result of extensive studies that lead to a certificate named «Diplôme d'étude spéciales d'Urbanisme» ["Certificate of special study of Urban Planning], delivered by l’Université de Paris.Our contribution aims to show the nature of the completion pedagogical exercises carried out and examined in these two institutions between 1922 and 1972 and, at the same time, to show the profiles of these certificates in urban planning during the 20th century and the relations between the subjects and the education systems in that particular area of urban planning. It was carried out from the information of different archives of Paris, but mainly from the resources of the Bibliothèque Poëte et Sellier, fonds historique de l'Ecole d'Urbanisme de Paris (EUP), formerly known as Fonds ancien de l'IUP.These theses were a specific product of l'EHEU/IUUP and constitute an essential and baseline theoretical body, which gives clues about the history of urbanism in France and in different American, European, African and Asian countries, because, on the one hand, are within a long period of the evolution of urbanism doctrines and, on the other hand, were carried out by students from different countries, which through time created a complex network of knowledge, understanding and know-how. / Esta tesis busca contribuir al conocimiento de l’Ecole des Hautes Études Urbaines [Escuela de Altos Estudios Urbanos] (1919-1924) et l’Institut d’Urbanisme de l’Université Paris [Instituto de Urbanismo de la Universidad de París] (1924-1919), explorando en particular los trabajos de fin de estudios realizados entre las década de 1920 y de 1970. Este cuerpo de trabajos, es decir, la tesis en urbanismo, son el objeto de estudio esta investigación. Las tesis son, de hecho, el resultado de estudios prolongados que conducen a la obtención de un diploma entregado por l’Université de Paris denominado « Diplôme d’étude spéciales d’Urbanisme » [“Diploma de estudio especiales de Urbanismo].Nuestra contribución busca dar cuenta de la naturaleza de los ejercicios pedagógicos de fin de estudios llevados a cabo y examinados en estas dos instituciones entre 1922 y 1972, dar cuenta de los perfiles de los diplomados en urbanismo durante el siglo XX y de las relaciones entre las asignaturas y los sistemas de enseñanza en ese campo particular que es el urbanismo. Se llevó a cabo a partir de la información de diferentes archivos de París, esencialmente a partir de recursos de la Bibliothèque Poëte et Sellier, fonds historique de l’Ecole d’Urbanisme de Paris (EUP).Las tesis fueron un producto específico de l’EHEU/IUUP y constituyen un cuerpo teórico esencial y de referencia que da pistas sobre la historia del urbanismo en Francia y en diversos países de América, Europa, África y Asia, toda vez que, por una parte se inscriben en un período largo de la evolución de las doctrinas del urbanismo y por otra, fueron realizadas por estudiantes llegados desde horizontes diferentes, lo que tejió a través del tiempo de una compleja red de circulación de saberes, conocimientos y saber-hacer.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a inserção da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo, FAUUSP, no campo de arquitetura e urbanismo em São Paulo, por meio da contribuição de dois de seus principais fundadores, Luiz Inácio Romeiro de Anhaia Mello (1891-1974) e João Batista Vilanova Artigas (1915-1985). Ambos foram engenheiros arquitetos formados pela Escola Politécnica de São Paulo, embora de ge- rações diferentes. Em sua vida profissional, Anhaia Mello tornou-se um reconhecido urba- nista, defensor da institucionalização do planejamento urbano baseado no regional planning norte-americano, opondo-se ao que chamava de \"urbanismo de obras\". Artigas, seu aluno e assistente, tornou-se, posteriormente, um dos mais respeitados arquitetos ligados ao Movimento Moderno em São Paulo. Pretende-se verificar como as diferenças e convergên- cias de seus pensamentos, vinculados a matrizes intelectuais distintas, interferiram sobre a configuração da nova instituição de ensino, repercutindo sobre o debate mais amplo de consolidação do campo de arquitetura e urbanismo como esfera de atuação profissional em São Paulo. Para tal, recorreu-se a vasta consulta bibliográfica assim como análises de documentos do período estudado, o qual tem por marcos os anos de 1948, data de fundação da FAUUSP, e 1962, quando foi implementada uma reforma de ensino que consolidou a ideia de um único campo em que as escalas do objeto, do edifício e da cidade estavam submetidas à atividade de projeto. Nos anos 1940, fatores internos e externos à universidade levaram à demanda pela criação de uma escola de arquitetura independente da Escola Politécnica, com a consequente extinção do curso de engenheiros arquitetos lá ministrado desde 1894. Anhaia Mello, docente catedrático da escola desde 1926, foi designado para co- ordenar a criação dessa faculdade e convidou Artigas a participar desse processo. Apesar de importantes divergências no pensamento desses profissionais, seu encontro na FAUUSP não deixou transparecer um debate de ideias ou uma exposição de diferenças, sugerindo a continuidade entre arquitetura e urbanismo. A hipótese que defendemos é que, apesar das diferenças de perspectiva que envolviam as duas disciplinas, a reunião entre arquitetura e urbanismo em um mesmo campo na FAUUSP foi estratégica para ambas, visando a obtenção de autonomia face à engenharia e à Escola Politécnica, bem como a consolidação de certos princípios, de modo a favorecer determinadas visões tanto na arquitetura como no urbanismo. Desse modo, a formação de um único campo institucional na nova escola revelou na verdade uma arena de embates de múltiplos interesses, nem sempre convergentes para os objetivos de uma gama de atividades profissionais bastante diversas entre si. / This study aims to analyse the insertion of the Architecture and Urban Planning School in the University of São Paulo, FAUUSP, in the field of architecture and urban planning in São Paulo, through the contribution of two of its main founders, Luiz Inácio Romeiro de Anhaia Mello (1891-1974) and João Batista Vilanova Artigas (1915-1985). Both were architect engineers from de Polytechnic School of São Paulo, although they belonged to different generations. In his professional life, Anhaia Mello became an acknowledged urban planner, defending the institutionalization of this policy inspired on the north-ameri- can regional planning. Artigas was Anhaia Mello´s student and assistant and later became one of the most respected architects in the Modern Movement in São Paulo. It is intended to verify how the differences and convergences of their thoughts, linked to distinct intellec- tual references, interfered in the configuration of the new teaching institution, reflecting on the larger debate on the field of architecture and urban planning´s consolidation. To do so it was resorted to a vast bibliographical consultation and also to document analysis from the studied period which has as milestones the years of 1948, year of the establishment of FAUUSP, and 1962, when an education reform was implemented as to consolidate the idea of one field where the scales of the object, building and city were subordinated to the project activity. Around 1940, internal and external factors to the university lead to a demand for the creation of an architecture school independent from the Polytechnic School, with the cor- respondent extinction of the course of architect engineers that existed since 1894. Anhaia Mello, one of the main teachers of the Polytechnic School since 1926, was designated to coordinate the founding of the new school and invited Artigas to participate on this process. Despite the different ideas of these two professionals, their meeting at FAUUSP did not expose a debate or displayed the divergences, suggesting a continuity among architecture and urbanism. The intended hypothesis to defend is that, despite the different perspectives around both disciplines, the reunion of architecture and urbanism at FAUUSP was part of a strategy for both fields willing to obtain autonomy from engineering and the Polytechnic School and the consolidation of certain principles, in order to benefit specific visions of architecture and urbanism. Therefore, the constitution of only one institutional field at the new school actually revealed an arena of multiple interests, not always convergent to the goals of a range of professional activities very different from each other.

Dans le cadre de la recherche, nous nous intéressons à la pratique du projet urbain dans les villes en décroissance (ou ville rétrécissante), plus connues sous le terme anglophone de shrinking cities. Cet intérêt est né d’un questionnement plus large sur la pratique de l’architecte-urbaniste et la fabrique de la ville en ce début du XXIe siècle, où les débats se multiplient sur la ville résiliante, économe, autosuffisante face aux crises écologiques, socio- économiques et politiques actuelles. La ville en décroissance offre ainsi un cadre intéressant pour nous confronter à cette problématique où l’architecte-urbaniste se retrouve à devoir s’adapter et se réinventer face à de multiples contraintes. Par ailleurs, le programme allemand Shrinking Cities et les réflexions portées par l’architecte-chercheur allemand Philipp Oswalt ont été un élément déclencheur. Ce dernier revendiquait l’idée que la ville en décroissance était le nouveau terrain de jeu pour explorer de nouvelles pensées architecturales et urbanistiques. Il le démontre à partir d’un travail de collecte d’expériences à travers le monde. Aujourd’hui, nous proposons de poursuivre cette réflexion et de nous poser la question suivante: quels enseignements pouvons-nous tirer de ces expériences pour notre pratique et imaginer la ville de demain ? À partir de ce questionnement, nous faisons l’hypothèse que ces nouvelles pensées architecturales et urbaines (concepts, langages architecturaux, formes urbaines, etc.) participeraient à la formulation de nouvelles formes d’habiter les territoires (usages, modèles urbains, paysage, modes de vie, etc.), permettant d’envisager différemment la fabrique urbaine en ce début du XXIe. Ces démarches seraient par ailleurs actrices dans la reconnaissance de terrains favorables pour une gestion urbaine raisonnée et dans le développement de nouveaux outils et protocoles d’action imaginés par les architecte-urbanistes.Pour répondre à notre hypothèse de recherche, nous nous intéressons plus spécifiquement aux projets impulsant une mutation profonde du tissu urbain, dans sa forme comme dans ses usages que nous nommons ici par remodelage urbain. Notre analyse se base sur six démarches dites « innovantes », théoriques et réalisées, dont un cas est mis en œuvre par des habitants. Elles illustrent cette pratique dans différentes villes en décroissance depuis ces vingt dernières années.Ces cas d’étude sont situés dans des tissus urbains différents (habitat dense en centre-ville et dans les bourgs ruraux, grands ensembles, habitat pavillonnaire) pour montrer la diversité des terrains auxquels l’architecte-urbaniste peut être confronté. Parallèlement aux deux cas français (Saint-Étienne, Livradois-Forez), nous observerons d’autres expériences dans deux contextes étrangers, précurseurs en termes d’initiatives locales et de politiques urbaines : l’Allemagne (Halle- Neustadt, Dessau) et les États-Unis (Detroit). La diversité des approches et des échelles de réflexion de ces projets ne permet pas de conduire une étude comparative. Plus adaptée à notre démarche, nous proposons leur mise en discussion pour comprendre l’impact du cadre politique, socio-économique et de l’environnement urbain sur le processus de projet ainsi que la capacité de ces projets à amorcer une transformation du tissu urbain et de la ville.Notre objectif sera ainsi de comprendre l’originalité et les spécificités de ces démarches, mais aussi leurs apports potentiels dans les débats actuels sur la ville et ses évolutions. Cette démarche cherche à apporter une dimension prospective sur le sujet de la ville en décroissance. / Within the methodological framework of the academic research, this study focuses on the urban development specific to shrinking cities. This interest raised from a broader interrogation on the professional practice of urban architects and the making of the city ongoing in this early XXIth century, with regards to contemporary debates about cities that are resilient, economical, self sufficient toward ecological, socio-economical and political crises. The shrinking city offers thus an interesting framework to study architects-urban planners reactions to such contexts and constraints adaptation. Furthermore the German programm Shrinking Cities and the reflexions raised by the German architect and researcher Philipp Oswalt have been a trigger component. He claims that the shrinking city was a new playground to explore new architectural and planning thoughts. He demonstrates it from a gathering of experiences around the world. Today, we suggest to follow this reflexion and raise the following issue: which lessons are to be learned from those experiences for today’s professional practice and imagine the city of tomorrow ?From this initial questioning, we took for granted that those new ways of seeing architecture and urban project (concepts, architectural languages, urban shape, etc.) lead to new leaving standards territories (uses, urban patterns, landscape, leaving conditions, etc.), changing thus the making of the city in this beginning of XXIth century. Indeed, those processes would be influential in the identification of favourable lands for a reasoned gestion of the city and the development of new tools and acting processes imagined by architects and urban planners.To answer to our hypothesis, we focus more specifically on projects initiating a deep mutation of the urban fabric, on its form and its uses that we would call here urban reshaping. Our analysis is based on six processes meant to be “innovative”, realized or no, one of them being built by inhabitants. They illustrate this practice in different shrinking cities since the 20 past years. Those case studies are located in different urban fabrics contexts to illustrate the diversity of situations that one can be facing. In parallel of two French case studies (Saint-Etienne, Livradois-Forez), we will observe other experiences in two foreign contexts, pioneers in terms of local initiatives and urban policy: Germany (Halle-Neustadt, Dessau) and the United states (Detroit). The diversity of projects, in terms of approach and scale does not constitute a comparative study. We suggest instead a more relevant approach consisting in questioning them to understand the political, socioeconomic and environment consequences on the process of project making and the capacity of those projects to initiate a transformation of urban fabric and of the city.Our goal will be to understand the originality and specifies of those initiatives, but also potential contributions to the contemporary debates on the city and its evolutions. This approach seeks bringing a prospective dimension about the shrinking city.

It also looks for its participation through the production of those spaces with or without its performance through two references cases, in Rio Grande do Norte , one called settlement Eldorado de Caraj?s and another one called Maria da Paz. At first the process represents the model that was adopted systematically by Incra until the middle of the year 2000 with the sub-contracting of their construction work through small companies. These standardized projects which are executed without registration in the system CONFEA/CREA without demand of professional authorship and of technical responsibility of the work. But the process taken place at Maria da Paz s area was configured as one of the first initiatives that stopped with those practices. Consolidated through a partnership among UFRN MST and INCRA/RN, the Architect s technical support and town planner brought new technician-scientific organization and execution of the soil parcels and its habitat. The participation of UFRN was done through a group of studies in land reform and Habitat (GERAH) being this author and coordinator of the methodological proposal, based on the regressive-progressive method and in the inclusion of the conflict as responsible of the ruptures and transductions both done by Henry L?f?bvre and in the research action approached by Carlos Brand?o. Therefore it included the process of social learning and collective production of new knowledge and attitudes in relation to the environment in the process called as attended self management in spite of the transformations happened with this new agent s participation. The people re-located to the new areas that got involved in the process and finished their constructions reelaborating the daily practice of the collective effort passed to the self management without technical support. Years later the implantation of those two experiences our research verified that there is a positive image concerning the Architect and town planner, related, most of all to the conception of the activities, orientation and execution of constructions projects and of acceptance of those professionals to the processes of implementation of the Habitats of the Rural establishments. This dissertation analyses this form of performance, from and beyond these images trying to find the professional, specificities or methodological in such a way to demonstrate the importance of its insertion in the formulation and attendance of the more of 100.000 habitats of Rural establishments of the land reform of the country that correspond to most of the housing social interest in the country side / Esta disserta??o trata da inser??o do arquiteto e urbanista na assist?ncia t?cnica dos assentamentos rurais e das possibilidades de mudan?as em seus habitats. Busca tamb?m, perceber sua participa??o e imagem, atrav?s da produ??o desses espa?os com e sem a sua atua??o, atrav?s de duas refer?ncias no Rio Grande do Norte Assentamentos Eldorado dos Caraj?s e Maria da Paz. No primeiro, o processo representa o modelo que foi adotado, sistematicamente, pelo INCRA at? meados de 2000, com a terceiriza??o de suas constru??es atrav?s de pequenas empresas. Estas executavam projetos padronizados, sem registro no sistema CONFEA/CREA, sem exig?ncia de autoria profissional e de responsabilidade t?cnica da obra. J? o processo do Maria da Paz se configurou como uma das primeiras iniciativas que romperam com essas pr?ticas. Consolidada atrav?s de uma parceria entre a UFRN, MST e INCRA/RN, a assist?ncia t?cnica do arquiteto e urbanista trouxe novos par?metros t?cnico-cient?ficos ao planejamento, organiza??o e execu??o do parcelamento do solo e do seu habitat. A participa??o da UFRN se deu atrav?s do Grupo de Estudos em Reforma Agr?ria e Habitat (GERAH), sendo este o idealizador e coordenador da proposta metodol?gica, baseada no m?todo regressivo-progressivo e na inclus?o do conflito como desencadeador de rupturas e transdu??o, ambos elaborados por Henry L?f?bvre, e na pesquisa-a??o abordada por Carlos Brand?o. Incluiu, portanto, o processo de aprendizagem social e produ??o coletiva de novos conhecimentos e atitudes em rela??o ao meio ambiente no processo chamado de autogest?o assistida. Apesar das transforma??es ocorridas com a participa??o deste novo agente, os assentados se apropriaram do processo e terminaram suas constru??es re-elaborando a pr?tica cotidiana do mutir?o, passando ? autogest?o sem assist?ncia t?cnica. Anos ap?s a implanta??o dessas duas experi?ncias, a pesquisa por n?s realizada constatou que h? uma imagem positiva do arquiteto e urbanista, relacionada, sobretudo, ?s atividades de concep??o, orienta??o e execu??o de projetos de edifica??es e da assist?ncia desses profissionais aos processos de implanta??o dos habitats dos assentamentos rurais. O trabalho analisa esta forma de atua??o, a partir e al?m dessas imagens, buscando encontrar as especificidades profissionais ou metodol?gicas, de modo a demonstrar a import?ncia da sua inser??o na formula??o e acompanhamento dos mais de 100.000 habitats de assentamentos rurais de reforma agr?ria do Pa?s, que correspondem ? maior parte da habita??o de interesse social no campo
