Organization
Géographie-cités is organized into three teams—CRIA, TERMS, and PARIS—and three working groups. The teams develop both their own research and common themes. Scientific exchanges between the three teams are structured around five cross-disciplinary axes designed to encourage interaction and knowledge sharing between researchers, at the scale of a very large, multi-site, multi-tutelle joint research unit (UMR). The three working groups address the specific needs of the scientific project and the day-to-day functioning of the UMR.
Teams

CRIA
CRIA Team projects focus on transformations in urban production, management, and materiality within a context of changing urban planning and development actors, political and economic transformations and environmental changes. They are conducted in a variety of cultural areas: Europe, North America, and Northeast Asia.

PARIS
The PARIS team analyses territorial dynamics by considering that spatial and social interactions play dynamic roles at varied time and space scales. New data collected from fields of study on different continents and on the practices and representations of actors, are now being mobilized. Research is based on a diversified set of methods.
Transversal Team Collaboration

The making of cities: Processes, Actors, Practices
At the crossroads of geography and urban planning, this transversality explores the processes of production, transformation, and appropriation of urban spaces by a simultaneous examination of collective action and the spatial practices of city dwellers.
