From the Rhin-Rhône TGV to Rhin-Rhône "territory" : reticularity, mobility and territoriality in an intermediary space
2013
High-speed rail, destined to reduce the times-distances between major French and European cities, tends to push intermediary spaces into a rather unfavorable situation. Strongly polarized by the large urban centers that surround them, these intermediary areas are usually reduced to their sole status of transit areas. However, the Eastern tract, the first section of the LGV Rhine-Rhône project, through its regional dimension, constitutes a factor in the emergence of a territorialization process of the Rhine-Rhone area. Thus, the arrival of high speed rail is responsible for the creation of a network of cities that extends from Dijon to Basel. To address this territorial issue, a detailed ana…

Les agglomérations antiques du Val de Saône : émergence et mutations d’un réseau urbain de la fin de l’âge du Fer au début du Moyen Âge
2019
The aim of this thesis is to study the processes of emergence, structuring and mutation of an ancient urban network from the end of the Protohistory to the beginning of the Middle Ages in a micro-region located on the edge of the ancient éduens, lingons and séquanes territories, the Saône Valley. This area is characterized by a density of Gallo-Roman small towns with an amount and a high quality of data unequalled in Gaul, as a result of ancient and recent research. While these small towns were among the first studied in the 1980’s, their exploitation was limited to the study of hierarchies and urban functions during the High Empire, neglecting the chronology and the evolution of the urban …
Benefits of area-wide traffic calming measures: outcomes still to assess
2008
The role of traffic calming schemes in urban network management is mainly to minimize undesirable effect of traffic in residential areas; in this context accident reduction can be a realistic objective. Several studies, indeed, inform us that traffic calming is a major part of the treatments available to reduce road accidents in urban areas. Paradoxically the increase of the accident rate per kilometre travelled has been observed in the urban context as result of the wellknown accident migration phenomenon. In connection to these considerations, the effectiveness of traffic calming measures on road safety is discussed in this paper. Then, after a synthetic exposition of the conceptual formu…
Les agglomérations celtiques pré-Conquête en Gaule du Centre-Est. Apport des travaux du PCR « agglomérations antiques de Bourgogne, Franche-Comté et …
2019
Depuis les années 1980, l'étude du fait urbain antique est l'une des questions les plus étudiée sur le territoire des dix départements formant le centre-est de la France. Le développement d'un programme collectif de recherche sur ce thème en 2012 a permis d'en dresser un nouvel inventaire et de rassembler une donnée souvent disparate. Ces travaux ont plus particulièrement porté attention aux phases initiales de mise en place du réseau urbain, en tentant, à l'aide de ces données et de nouvelles prospections, de disposer d'une vision évolutive des sites les plus marquants. Malgré les grandes difficultés méthodologiques et documentaires rencontrées, il apparaît assez nettement que la période a…
