Abstract

International audience; This e-book gives an overview of the research work carried out within the framework of the MEDIUM project. Entitled“New pathways for sustainable urban development in China’s medium-sized cities », the MEDIUM project was funded by theEuropean Commission under EuropeAid program, and run for three years (09/2015—08/2018). Its main objective was to trainEuropean young researchers in the knowledge of urban China and to foster Sino-European scientific cooperation on urbandevelopment. Various means have been deployed to this end, including medium-term mobility schemes to conduct research inChina, and by co-organizing a series of scientific events with Chinese universities. Beyond scientific cooperation, the project has developed a pilot experiment: training Chinese students (or university students) to lead stakeholder workshops applied to urban planning, with a view to organizing consultations involving users of a targeted urban area.
