Composed of researchers and academics with recognized and complementary skills, the scientific committee of Sustainable City by France and the “Halle aux Sucres” of Dunkirk feeds the expertise of the association on the issues and causes of the Anthropocene and the solutions to accelerate the ecological and social transformation of territories.

This scientific group, which covers a number of environmental, social and urban disciplines, is working with Sustainable City by France to : 

  • Regularly update the shared vision of the fundamentals of sustainable and resilient territories, in light of the most recent publications and experiences in France and internationally (read our Manifesto)
  • To propose, as a consequence, priority actions to accelerate ecological and social transformations 
  • Strengthen the dialogue between public and private territorial decision-makers and researchers to feed territorial transition strategies
  • To commit to the citizen’s capacity to act, so that they can fully participate in the challenges of ecological transitions
