Spatial and economic segregation : an analysis in terms of employment and education in urban spaces
2016
Cities are not homogeneous territories: some neighborhoods concentrate wealth while others face difficulties such as unemployment, poverty, exclusion or crime. These fractures are a consequence of urban segregation, i.e. socioeconomic inequalities spatial pattern. To that matter, this thesis addresses three objectives: (i) the characterization and explanation of segregated urban structures appearance, (ii) the link between segregation and labor market, and eventually (iii) the link between segregation and education. According to Urban Economics, the urban structure influences individual’s employment status through the distance to jobs. This hypothesis is tested via an empirical study on the…
Economic theory and space : a reconciliation
1997
Malgré des apports importants au XIXe siècle et dans la première moitié du XXe et en dépit des efforts de l'après guerre, l’économie spatiale est longtemps restée un domaine marginal par rapport au corpus principal de la théorie économique. L’attachement aux hypothèses de concurrence pure et de rendements non croissants explique en grande partie cette séparation. Depuis quelques années, on assiste, dans le cadre de l'Economie géographique, à un mouvement d’intégration dont le moteur principal est la reconnaissance et l’exploitation des rendements croissants comme explication de la formation de l’espace économique. Ce papier présente un panorama de 25 années d’économie spatiale en soulignant…
A normative planning approach for the Luxembourg : assessment based on spatial simulation
2015
In Luxembourg, daily mobility patterns of both cross-border workers and residents lead to a strong car dependance. This process encourages urban sprawl. Meanwhile the country is faced to increasing housing needs but has to reduce land consumption. Within this context, the main objective of this thesis is to throw light about the relation between residential growth patterns and daily mobility behaviors. In this way, a normative planning approach has been adopted. This approach proposes new planning norms for achieving a series of planning objectives. Quantitative rules are the tools used to apply the norms.Three steps has been done: i) conception of residential growth scenarios for 2030. By …
Socio-spatial dynamics and ways of living of urban spaces : comparison of Besançon, Mulhouse and Strasbourg
2013
The spatial distribution of urban functions and populations is not random, this distribution canhighlight inequalities which call into question our democratic societies based on the principle ofequality. This principle is based on the relationship between the “social” and the “spatial” whichmainly consist in investigating social disparities in urban areas and what is perceived as an injustice byindividuals. To understand these socio-spatial dynamics, we focus our research on the urban history ofBesançon, Mulhouse and Strasbourg as well as the relations between the inhabitants and theirresidential environment. Using large geo-localized databases from INSEE, we study the spatialdistribution o…
Sensitivity of a climate model to urban form : application on Dijon Métropole
2020
The urban environment is at the crossroads of two complex systems with different temporalities : climate and society. The urban climate is a modification of the climate caused by the presence of a city. The most successful expression of this climate change by the presence of the city is the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI). In a global context of adaptation and mitigation to climate change and urban development, this phenomenon of ICU tends to increase, and its health impacts on populations to become more prominent. This work is aimed at improving the knowledge of the impact of urban form and urban development on the intensity of the UCI through the implementation of a decision support…
Conceptualisation et évaluation d'une typologie de lotissement vertical pour un aménagement urbain durable
2020
The current urban development process is the result of a paradoxical situation. On the one end, families prefer individual housing, which finds the favourable conditions to its spreading in the more or less distant from towns outskirts, while wishing to benefit from services (proximity to amenities, public transport offers, etc…) which are rather the corelate of dense urban centralization. On the other hand, in order to fight against environmental, social and economic costs of urban sprawl, and also aim towards a more sustainable city, the urban renovation and compact city projects lead to some density levels that only collective housing enables to reach. So, the equation - control of the u…
La ville, la raison et le rêve : entre théorie et utopie
1996
City, reason and dream : between theory and utopia. — This paper aims at comparing two kinds of discourses about the city, that of the microeconomics of cities, which is admitted in the realm of science, and that of Utopian cities, which is not. We analyse the processes of thinking which lead respectively to theory and utopia, then we compare the ideas of man and society upon which they are grounded. Finaly, we try to enhance the similarities and disimilarities between the two series of urban space representations to which these approaches lead. This comparison may contribute to a better understanding of the real nature of the theoretical discourse and lead both to a relativization and a va…
La fabrique de l’éclairage public. De la lumière planifiée aux territorialités nocturnes.
2018
International audience; L’éclairage urbain, s’il a amélioré la qualité de vie dans nos sociétés, n’est pas exempt de coûts écologiques et sanitaires que, depuis une trentaine d’années, plusieurs champs scientifiques relayés par des mouvements associatifs et politiques ont mis en évidence. À telle enseigne qu’en France, suite au Grenelle de l’Environnement, l’éclairage urbain est désormais appréhendé en termes de nuisance, voire de pollution. Ce changement de qualification signe le passage d’une approche fonctionnaliste de l’éclairage public définie par les professionnels élus et non élus de la fabrique de la ville à une approche sociotechnique de l'éclairage qui donne sa place aux usagers d…
Le paysage, entre esthétique & écologie : modélisation rétrospective à partir de changements d'occupation du sol
2016
Landscape is both a backdrop to the lives of human populations and a medium for the life cycle of animal species. Landscape changes induced by land-use and land-cover dynamics affect both these dimensions, the one aesthetic, and the other ecological. Because these rationales areusually studied within different disciplines, little research has been done into how the two clashor combine as and when landscape structures change. This work seeks therefore to model the spatial co-evolution of the aesthetic and ecological functions of landscape retrospectively usingspatial metrics based on land-cover data. It focuses on changes in the urban fringes of two French cities (Paris and Besançon) over th…
Varsovie, une nouvelle métropole
2003
Depuis la chute du mur de Berlin, de profondes modifications économiques, politiques et sociales ont vu le jour dans les Pays d’Europe Centrale et Orientale. Parmi ces transformations, la naissance de nouveaux acteurs économiques, leur adaptation aux conditions de l’économie de marché et notamment leur entrée dans les réseaux globaux modifient, jour après jour, les anciens équilibres entre les métropoles européennes. Certainesgrandes villes comme Budapest ou Varsovie suivent un processus original d’adaptation aux nouvelles conditions économiques, politiques et techniques qui résulte à la fois du poids de leur histoire et de leur capacité de transformation. Dans ses grandes lignes, l’évoluti…
