At the end of the five years of work in our GeoDiverCity program, we brought together a diversity of authors from different disciplines. Each person was invited to present an important question about the theories and models of urbanization. They are representative of a variety of currents in urban research. Rather than repeat here the contents of all chapters, we propose two ways to synthesize the scientific contributions of this book. In a first part we replace them in relation to a few principles that were experimented in our program, and in a second part we situate them with respect to a broader view of international literature on these topics.

城市理论的观点

在我们 GeoDiverCity 计划的五年工作结束时，我们汇集了来自不同学科的多元化作者。每个人都被邀请提出一个关于城市化理论和模型的重要问题。它们代表了城市研究中的各种潮流。我们不在这里重复所有章节的内容，而是提出两种方法来综合本书的科学贡献。在第一部分中，我们根据在我们的计划中试验过的一些原则来替换它们，在第二部分中，我们将它们置于对这些主题的国际文献的更广泛视野中。
