Rezumat/Abstract. This study aims to analyze the evolution of urban planning from a regulatory-based approach to one centered on urban projects, through a comparative analysis of current urban modeling tools: the Zone d'Aménagement Concerté (ZAC) in the French context and the Planul Urbanistic Zonal (PUZ) in the Romanian context. The research will examine the capacity and effectiveness of these tools to intervene in the urban fabric and to address contemporary challenges of urban development, particularly in terms of balancing global and local elements, long-term sustainability, and flexibility in adapting to the changing needs of the city. This analysis will be conducted using several analytical criteria that will structure the article.
