Résumé / Abstract
With energy resources getting scarcer, energy costs getting higher and GHG emissions needing to be reduced, it has become necessary to design more economical cities. There are numerous items of energy expenditures in urban systems the two main ones being heating and air conditioning on the one hand, transport on the other hand. These two items are directly linked to the urban shape (density/sprawl). Controlling these parameters involve numerous interactive elements: business activities, urban development and housing policy, transport and mobility, economic and social policy, users' behavior, etc. The present article proposes an original approach which consists in addressing the complexity of these issues through the elaboration of integrated models that take into account the various processes and their interactions.
