- urban and regional development
- population dynamics (including migration, socio-spatial inequalities and urban poverty, segregation, gated communities and criminality in Marseille, conflicts between agriculture areas – wien estates, urban growth, natural heritage and tourist activities)Planned route:
The group will meet in Aix-en-Provence on the 18th of September (evening). Various activities and visits will take place in the surrounding areas (such as in Marseille: old town, Calanques, Etang de berre; Aix en Provence; Luberon: Lourmarin; Var: wine estate in Bandol, Porquerolles).
Marseille is 30km away from Aix.The following learning objectives should be achieved within the excursion:
-To deepen understanding of the social, economic and political development in the metropolis area of Marseille and to be able to capture the main challenges of one of the most populated region in France.
-To deepen understanding of the socio-spatial segregation effects of a metropolis with a high level of inequality.
-To reflect upon the human-environment nexus of a densely populated area located in an agricultural and tourist region.
-To get to know relevant institutions and stakeholders in Southern France dealing with population issues (migration, health, urban development).
-To use multicultural competences.
