Complex urban projects developed within a neoliberal context may entail inclusionary goals. In order to recognize diversity and as a response to many uncertainties, learning during their realization becomes an important issue. Consequently, legal agreements for complex urban projects that cater to learning are more suitable than agreements in which detailed agreements are stipulated far in advance. This article presents a study of learning and contracting in four focal projects that were part of three complex urban projects: Battery Park City (New York), King's Cross (London) and the Zuidas project (Amsterdam). The agreements concluded in these projects cater to learning in very different ways, though the actual culture in the projects differs to a lesser degree.RésuméLes projets urbains complexes élaborés dans un cadre néolibéral peuvent comporter des objectifs d'intégration. Pour prendre conscience de la diversité et en réaction à de nombreuses incertitudes, il devient essentiel d'apprendre au cours de la réalisation de ces projets. Par conséquent, les contrats juridiques concernant des projets urbains complexes qui pourvoient à cet apprentissage sont plus pertinents que ceux dans lesquels les accords sont spécifiés en détail très à l'avance. Cet article présente une étude de l'apprentissage et de la relation contractuelle concernant quatre projets pivots intégrés dans trois projets urbains complexes: Battery Park City (New York), King's Cross (Londres) et le projet Zuidas (Amsterdam). Les contrats conclus dans ces cadres pourvoient très différemment à l'apprentissage, bien que la culture propre à chaque projet ne soit pas si éloignée
