Goals

At the end of the course, students will be able to :

identify the specificities of an urban industrial production in terms of supply chain, means of production and link with consumers;
estimate the contribution that an urban factory could have for sustainability in a local context.

Content

The course will answer the following questions based on case studies complemented by lectures:

What are the main aspects (technical, regulatory, environmental and social) of an urban factory and what are the main differences with a conventional production far from the consumption places?
What are the specific supply and production means of the urban factory?
What is the link with consumers and the life cycle of products that are produced in an urban factory?
What is important to consider to ensure that an urban factory is sustainable?
