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…
Metropolises stability vs. change
2003
In everyday language and even in some scientific work, the term “metropolis” evokes nothing more than a very large city, a focus for all that is good — and bad — about urban life. The vast literature on metropolises and metropolization, especially in Europe over the last 20 years, shows that things are anything but straightforward. Population alone is probably not a necessary condition and obviously not a sufficient condition to characterize a metropolis. Somany phenomena are associated with this term that, like Lacour (1999), we may wonder whether this diversity is evidence of just how rich or just how poor the concept is. Producing a meaningful definition is indeed a challenge (...)
Los grupos agrarios en la política urbana del País Valenciano: Castelló de la Plana, ss. XIX-XX
1996
A través del análisis social de la politica de una pequeña ciudad durante los siglos XIX y XX se muestra la complejidad de la evolución de las estructuras agrarias en el regadio valenciano con su correspondiente conflictividad social. La participación de los grupos agrarios en la politica urbana del Pais Valenciano ha podido representar un factor más importante de lo que la historiografía reconoce en la actualidad. Además, el papel desempeñado por los sectores agrarios modestos no debe juzgarse siempre como subordinado. The complex evolution of agrarian structures and the associated social conflict in the irrigated zone of Valencia is shown through a social analysis of the politics of a sma…
Vitesse, accessibilité et étalement urbain ; analyse et application à l'aire urbaine dijonnaise
2003
The set of themes of the city is approached primarily by the means of the residential density. This concept is analyzed from a purely conceptual point of view, then more theoretical (thus making use of rather traditional econometric models: Clark, Newling) for finally being applied to the agglomeration dijonnaise like with its urban surface. One releases the great urban structures thus revealing an intermediate city between the model monocentric and polycentric. The two components are analyzed successively starting from the concept of residential density. Taking as assumption that the cities are dynamic, the second stage is that of urban sprawl out. A first introductory approach attempts to…
Capitali senza re nella Monarchia spagnola. Identità, relazioni, immagini (secc. XVI-XVIII)
2020
Capitali senza re nello spazio politico della Monarchia spagnola in età moderna è l’oggetto di questo volume, nato da un convegno tenutosi a Palermo nel settembre 2018 nel contesto delle XIV Jornadas Internacionales de Historia de las Monarquías Ibéricas, organizzate dalla rete di ricerca internazionale Columnaria, in collaborazione con l’Università di Palermo nel quadro delle manifestazioni di "Palermo Capitale Italiana della Cultura". Il convegno si è incentrato su quelle città che detenevano il ruolo di capitale di regno, ma che l’unione delle corone, determinato o da legittima successione o da conquista, aveva relegato alla condizione di città vicereali, o comunque più in generale di ca…
The impact of urban transformations on the morphology of streets networks
2017
This research takes place in the field of quantitative analysis of historical streets networks.During the last decades, many studies have used network analysis or space syntax approachin a diachronic perspective, either to observe the interdependence between networkconfigurations and land-use, or to explore the link between network configurations and knownurban phenomena, such as densification, dispersal or expansion. These researches often focuson one single transformation rather than on the long time evolution of networks. In this work,we will explore the evolution of the street network of Paris, between 1300 and 1871, and linkthis evolution to all the transformations that occurred in the…
