  City / Cité: the transatlantic dialogue

  France / US and the future of urban democracy?

  À l’heure où les ondes de choc du Brexit et des élections américaines se prolongent sur cette rive de l’Atlantique dans un contexte de crise politique mondiale, City / Cité rassemble des chercheurs, des élus, des urbanistes, des militants associatifs, des artistes et des journalistes dans un dialogue transatlantique sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la démocratie urbaine. Après le lancement de City / Cité à Chicago en 2015 et avant la prochaine étape qui aura lieu à Detroit en 2017, l’événement parisien se tourne vers la question des « quartiers ». Les deux journées de rencontres au Centquatre-Paris proposent un espace d’échange et de réflexion sur les moyens de favoriser l’inclusion sociale et la participation politique dans les quartiers et d’identifier les bonnes pratiques pour la justice sociale.

  Geo-economic and geo-political approaches

  Can regions understand each other?

  Europe and Asia: challenges and crisis-management

  Further to the first Europe-Asia conferences exploring regional regime dynamics (France, 2004), policies of regional cooperation (Korea, 2005), interregional competition (France, 2012) and the limits of regional constructions (Kazakhstan, 2014), this 2016 edition will look at the reciprocal understanding of regions and how that is conducive to their capacity (or lack thereof) to monitor crises they undergo, both specific crises and interregional ones. Papers must address original research, in regional dynamics of Asia and Europe, since the end of the cold war and focus on one area among.

  Housing and inequalities

  Espaces et sociétés

  In a general context of growing social inequalities, this issue reviews the role that housing plays in the system of inequalities, on the one hand, and in the multiple variations of housing inequalities, on the other. Faced with growing tensions in the housing market, we seek contributions that capture the changes at work in a field well-trodden by urban studies. Produced by class domination, racism and gender, how are today's inequalities intersect in analyses of access and housing conditions? How are inequalities produced in housing, who are the actors, what is the role of public policy? Beside typical situations, we encourage contributors to provide analyses of minority forms of housing as "social fact park" or de facto social housing in the private sector and existing housing stock and via third parties. Finally, this Call for Papers asks what are the consequences of housing inequality on the (re)production of inequality, and the changing classificatory function of housing.
