The need to cross disciplinary boundaries appreared in scientific research at least twenty years ago. Since its foundation, at the beginning of the 20th Century, urban planning has been claiming the assets of multidisciplinarity. It is particularly concerned withtransgressing disciplinary boundaries. However, multidisciplinarity may weaken urban planning as a discipline because it is a recent knowledge domain, that has borrowed without vigilance from the knowledge established in both the social and engineering sciences. Urban planning may forget to formulate an inventory and to build its own theoretical and practical assets. This article argues thatit is only when has acquired its own identity discipline that it can implement a fecund transdisciplinarity contribution.
