This symposium was organized by the World Bank in partnership with the French Development Agency and the Ministry of Ecology. More than 600 researchers, practitioners and decision-makers from 85 countries gathered at the Palais du Pharo under the theme: "Cities and climate change: responding to an urgent agenda".

Julien Le Tellier, Blue Plan programme officer, participated to the round table organized by the CDC Institute for Research on the urban governance: “Urban governance in big cities: comparative approach between North and South countries”, using some contributions applied to the Algerian, Moroccan, Parisian and Tunisian context.

As a preamble to this symposium, the Caisse des Dépôts and the Isted organized on the 27th and 28th of June 2009, a Research and Exchange Workshop, whose theme was “Climate, Cities and the Mediterranean”.
