The international town planning milieu forms an intriguing web of people, books, exhibitions, congresses and ideas. Exploring it can add to our nationally oriented understanding of the ways in which the urban scene was conceived in the twentieth century. This article aims to place this exploration in the wider context of the 'Urban Internationale' the sphere dedicated to the declensions of 'urban issues' such as town planning, housing and urban government. It suggests that the Urban Internationale can be structured around three areas of focus: voluntary associations, international institutions and the big US philanthropic foundations. The development of those areas and the relationships between them shaped the way in which 'urban issues' were defined and treated.Le milieu international de 'l'urbanisme' forme une trame fascinante d'individus, ouvrages, expositions, conférences et idées. L'explorer peut enrichir notre appéhension nationalisée des manières selon lesquelles la scène urbaine a été conçue au XXe siècle. L'article place cette exploration dans le contexte plus large de 'l'Internationale Urbaine', sphère dédiée aux déclinaisons des 'problèmes urbains' tels que urbanisme, logement et gouvernement urbain. Il suggère que l'Internationale Urbaine peut se structurer autour de trois pôles: les associations de bénévoles, les institutions internationales et les grandes fondations philanthropiques américaines. Le développement de ces pôles et leurs relations mutuelles ont fa??onné les modalités de définition et de traitement des 'problèmes urbains
