description of course studies
How can I get round this?
• le laboratoire LIAT, « Infrastructure, Architecture, Territoire », sur l’analyse des contextes (villes, territoires, paysages) marqués par les aménagements d’infrastructures et de grands équipements.
So there's the built environment and 'non-built-up land'. Are the terms mutually exclusive?

town, district and landscape
Note that it needs to be in the (collective) singular in English. I think that "district" does carry the meaning of local government and could be supplemented by regional, e.g. the town, district, regional and landscape contexts.

Note from asker:
thank you very much. Interestingly, here is the dictionary definition of B.D. FInch's suggestion: "A district is a type of administrative division, in some countries managed by a local government. Entities known as districts vary greatly in size, spanning entire regions or counties, several municipalities, or subdivisions of municipalities |

I don't think they're actually saying that "villes" = built environment and "paysages" = non-built-up land, as you put it. They're saying that the context of the architecture can include towns, territories (always a tricky thing to translate into English and that's probably not how I'd put it in this case) and landscapes.
