Résumé anglais This article presents the paradigm of urban organization in the form of networks. This paradigm provides, for each type of metropolitan area, the economic and territorial foundation for certain important normative principles: polycentric organization, based on the development of specificities in each secondary center; functional and infrastructural integration of different centers into one single programmatic frame which makes it possible to avoid costly and inefficient duplications of functions and competition among secondary centers; the amelioration of infrastructuration in a non-radial direction. The rationale behind the organisation of urban centers in networks directly conflicts with the model of rational-synoptic planning, whereas it shares numerous affinities with the new models of strategic planning. This latter type of planning model works in a more pragmatic dimension of continuous verification of the coherence between objectives and results; it relies upon repetitive processes of comprehension, evaluation, and revision of objectives; it interacts with private interests and public solidarity, thus encouraging public/private partnerships along with associative partnerships between governments at the same level, and at different levels.
