This paper addresses a reflection on the nature of the change process in Higher Education (HE) in Spain, in its confluence with the European Higher Education Space.Along this period, it has been a surprise the absence of a genuine social debate about such change. On the contrary, what has been predominant was the low level of information about it and the news that it raised tend to be anecdotal. And the debate within universities has tended to be polarized, either on the complexity of the technical (technicalities) or essentialist positions. However, such social debate is necessary because the both, the embeded political nature of change and the role that Higher Education should play in the emerging Knowledge Society. In this sense, the text tries to reflect on two issues. The first concern is about how far it is possible to keep on the dilemma that arises from the nature of the proposed changes. How the university can be sensible to the demands of its environment in a relevant way, raising their quality standards and keeping on its own agency's capacity. The second one is about the epistemology of change in HE. What kind of conflict arises between the "creative autonomy" and the "destructive frictions".This reflection has been conducted through the analysis of relevant documentation and data collected from a series of cases, according to a methodology of action research, along the period from 2003 to 2008. ; El presente trabajo aborda una reflexión acerca de la naturaleza del proceso de cambio de la Educación Superior (ES) en España, en su vertebración en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. En este período, causa sorpresa la ausencia de un verdadero debate social acerca de aquél cambio. Por el contrario, ha predominado el bajo nivel de la información sobre el mismo, las noticias generadas acostumbraron a ser de carácter anecdótico y el debate intrauniversitario ha tendido a polarizarse, bien en la complejidad de lo técnico (technicalities) o en posiciones esencialistas. Sin embargo, el debate social es necesario, por la naturaleza profundamente política del cambio y por el papel que debe ocupar la Educación Superior en la emergente Sociedad del Conocimiento. En este sentido, el texto trata de reflexionar sobre dos cuestiones. La primera, ¿hasta dónde es posible mantener como válido el dilema que surge de la naturaleza profunda de los cambios propuestos?: afrontar la universidad las demandas formativas de su entorno de manera relevante, elevar sus niveles de calidad y eludir el problema de la necesaria revisión de la propia capacidad de agencia. En segundo lugar, ¿qué tipo de epistemologías orientan el cambio en la ES?. ¿Qué conflicto se da entre la "autonomía creativa" y las "fricciones destructivas?" 1. Dicha reflexión se ha realizado a partir del análisis de documentación relevante y de datos recogidos en una serie de casos, de acuerdo con una metodología propia de la Investigación en la Acción, desde 2003 hasta 2008.

Texte présenté à la conférence (et légèrement repris). Soumis à la revue Arab World Geographer en vue d'une publication dans un numéro reprenant les actes de cette conférence ; After the 2006 summer war and the 2007 assault of Nahr el Bared, the issue of energy and water supply is once again one of the main issues the Lebanese have to cope with. It is a consequence of the damages inflected by both conflicts (mostly during the 2006 war) as well as a result of the State paralysis, which is hindering the necessary reforms. But the recovery of the energy and water delivery, deeply affected by the civil war (1975-1990), had never been fully achieved during the reconstruction process. Strangely, while the crisis of these infrastructures has been recognized as one of the dimensions of the civil war urban crisis (Awada 1988, Davie 1991), urban scholarship has mostly overlooked the public service supply issue during the 1990's. In this paper we would like to address it and, specifically, to understand how the water and electricity supply is linked to the process of territorial fragmentation in post civil war Lebanon. Since the end 1990's, several attempts at reforming both sectors have been launched. They seem to be part of a wider global trend of neoliberal reforms affecting urban utilities. Since the social and territorial impacts of such reforms are usually strong, we will also try to assess their effects in the Lebanese cities. Lastly, we have to examine how the recent cycle of violence and of political unrest has heightened the problems, which is one of the currently most disputed political issues.

International audience ; Four organisms in charge of urban studies and the conception of spatial planning have succeeded one other in the urban area of Lyon since the early sixties: the Urbanism Workshop of the City of Lyon, the Urbanism Workshop of the Urban Community of Lyon, the Urbanism Agency of the Urban Community of Lyon and last the Urbanism Agency for the Development of the Agglomeration of Lyon, which is still in operation. Each of them contributes towards the development of the metropolis, by introducing new approaches in elaboration and the running of urban policies at the local level. At the time of the elaboration of the SDAU (structure plan at the agglomeration level) and the POS (legally binding local land use plan) during the years of economic growth, the first two organisms constitute the penetration and spreading points for modern conceptions of planning, which are conveyed by the State services to the local actors, but also for interests and the point of view the local economical actors defend against State orientations. The Agencies are asserting themselves afterwards as centre of methodological innovation and creation of new forms of expertise. They work on strategic planning and territorial development, and also to enable the Urban Community of Lyon to define and lead an ambitious urban policy on the agglomeration territory. ; Quatre organismes successifs ont été en charge des études urbaines et de la préparation des documents de planification territoriale dans l'agglomération lyonnaise depuis le début des années 1960 : l'Atelier d'urbanisme de la Ville de Lyon, l'Atelier d'urbanisme de la Communauté urbaine de Lyon, l'Agence d'urbanisme de la Communauté urbaine de Lyon et enfin l'Agence d'urbanisme pour le développement de l'agglomération lyonnaise, qui est toujours en activité.

rapport final dans le cadre d'une convention avec la DRE Pays de la Loire et le CETE, 80 pages ; En 2005, une démarche partenariat a été engagée entre le Plan Urbanisme Construction Architecture, la Direction régionale de l'équipement des Pays de la Loire et la Maison des sciences de l'homme de Nantes pour : Promouvoir des recherches d'initiatives locales à partir d'approches pluridisciplinaires dans les domaines de l'aménagement du territoire, de l'aménagement urbain, de la politique dans les domaines de l'habitat et de la politique de la ville. Renforcer les échanges entre les services déconcentrés du ministère de l'équipement et les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et de recherche en accompagnement de l'action préexistante du pôle de recherche urbaine en Pays de la Loire. Pour initier cette collaboration, deux recherches exploratoires basées sur une bibliographie critique ont été lancées sur les thèmes suivants : la capacité de développement des communes littorales, la structuration de l'espace périurbain. Ce rapport achève une première phase de travail
