Is the ongoing dis-embedding of social relations within globalized neoliberalism producing “hyper-ghettos” for a penalized “underclass”? These were the first questions I had in mind after an admittedly short but intensive reading of Zygmunt Bauman’s thought on “liquid modernity” (Bauman 1996, Bauman 2000, Bauman 2001b) and a re-stablishing intimate form of violence at the heart of post-modern social formation. It is here that a long journey started; a journey that became my subject of research. It led me to search for answers, not through philosophical deliberation, but rather through the empirical domain of that social world of which Bauman’s theory is inspired. As I am not educated as an economist, historian, human geographer or sociologist, it was clear that for me this question had to be confronted in line with my training: In an ethnographic way. Hence, I was to work with the real people, within their real places and in their time. Starting from a theoretical investigation into liquid modernity my fieldwork was carried out as an Extended Case Method (ECM) as developed by Michael Burawoy (Burawoy et al. 1991; Burawoy 2009; 1998) . The ECM is about theory testing and theory reconstructing by using ethnography as a method. According to the ECM, every empirical case functions as an abnormal case that

  • Suburban Densification and the Social Status Quo in Greater Lyon
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF URBAN AND REGIONAL RESEARCH 622 DOI:10.1111/1468-2427.12197 — ‘MANY RIVERS TO CROSS’: Suburban Densification and the Social Status Quo in Greater Lyon max rousseau Abstract Urban research often considers densification from the perspective of sustainable development and social mix. This essay focuses instead on the social and political stakes involved in densification through the example of a large French metropolitan area. It shows that the densification policies put in place in the Lyon agglomeration cannot be said to succeed in breaking down the historical segregation between its residential and affluent western suburbs (banlieues) and its industrial and working-class eastern ones. The political manoeuvres executed by the institutions implementing densification, and the search for consensus characterizing France’s intercommunalities, block any possibility of redis tributing functions and social classes at the metropolitan scale, and hence of ending the social specialization of Lyon’s suburbs. Moreover, municipalities subjected to pressure from suburban areas carefully assess the profile of residents selected to occupy new hous- ing units––i.e. individuals already residing in the commune in the case of western suburbs, and middle-class individuals hailing from the eastern part of the agglomeration in the case of eastern suburbs. Densification does not foster social mix at the metropolitan scale, neither does it improve the housing conditions of disadvantaged populations. Introduction: densifying the suburbs (banlieues) of large French cities France has undergone two successive waves of suburbanization since the sec­ ond world war. From the 1940s to the early 1970s, French Fordism and the urbaniza­ tion model that sustained it were closely regulated by the state, in contrast to the North American model where the private sector had much greater scope to take advantage of public investment beyond the limits of the inner cities (Filion, 2014, this issue).

  • Lyon Metropole Climate and Energy Plan
    TERRITORIAL CLIMATE AND ENERGY PLAN Progress Report 2015 www.grandlyon.com EDITORIAL PRESIDENT OF THE MÉTROPOLE DE LYON One month before the COP21, our 4th Energy and Climate Conference is especially significant. For in this agreement on international commitments, the territories have a major role to play. This progress report allows us to show how action by territories helps develop operational responses to international problems. What is our assessment today following the implementation of our Climate and Energy Plan in 2012? Firstly, the enormous commitment of everyone involved: 11 new partners © Philippe Somnolet have just joined us, bringing our number to 84. A gratifying development! Then, results: an 11% reduction in greenhouse gases since 2000, a trend to which we have contributed by rolling out the 26 actions of our Climate Plan. These results are encouraging. But we must persevere in our efforts to honour our commitment of a 20% reduction in emissions by 2020. By continuing to implement the actions planned. And by also adding new ones. In the field of business, the Lyon éco-énergie system supports VSE’s and SME’s in their energy management. With regard to housing, the priority is the eco-renovation of existing homes, with the launch of a platform to support households with their projects. Finally, the Métropole has produced an energy planning tool, the “Energy Master Plan”. Despite worldwide efforts, a rise in the average temperature seems unavoidable. The new “Adaptation” section of the Climate Plan should allow the Métropole to build, with its partners, the tools to face the forthcoming changes.

  • Study Visit in Lyon
    STUDY VISIT IN LYON On 12 and 13 March 2015, the European Club of Intermodal Regions and Cities, managed by INTERMODES, and SYTRAL (Syndicat des Transports pour le Rhône et l’Agglomération Lyonnaise) invite you to experience the transportation network of the Lyon metropolis. Lyon was awarded the INTERMODES Prize in 2014 both for its policy in favour of intermodal passenger transport development and for its desire to constantly improve mobility for the benefit of its citizens, for the sake of economic dynamism. Métropole de Lyon was created on 1 January 2015. It is a regional government with unique legal status in France, created by the merger of the Urban Community of Lyon and the Rhône General Council 59 cities that make up the Greater Lyon area. The Rhône General Council continues to exercise its competence over 228 other cities. The metropolis has 1.3 million inhabitants in an area of 538 km2. The President of Métropole de Lyon is Gérard COLLOMB, Mayor of Lyon. The public transport network is subject to continuous improvement through a public service delegation agreement reached with the SYTRAL, the metropolitan area transport organising authority. Métropole de Lyon also provides support to the development of the regional express train networks (TER), led by the region. As of 1 January 2015, SYTRAL became the sole transport organizing authority for urban and interurban transport on the entire territory of the Lyon metropolis and the Rhône General Council. Even though the enlargement to the Rhône General Council has taken place on 1 January 2015, the SYTRAL will truly be in a position to develop new tools next September only.
