  Urban Mobilities

  The COVID-19 lockdown deprived citizens around the world of their mobility. This experience has inspired many citizens to rethink their mobility, to describe it less in terms of quantity – the speed and distance of their journeys – and more in terms of quality and freedom. The Urban Mobilities online publication will be advocating for a post-COVID urban mobility that is pluralistic and benefits all walks of life. It will do so by showcasing projects that question and challenge conventional mobility and its negociation in the public space.

  Roma Migrants in the City : Practices and Policies

  Call for papers for Géocarrefour (issue n°86, 2011)

  Ces dernières années, les villes d’Europe occidentale ont été marquées par l’arrivée de nouvelles populations, originaires de l’Europe centrale ou des Balkans et appartenant aux minorités Rom. Ces personnes et ces groupes, souvent désignés comme « Roms migrants », ont une très forte visibilité dans l’espace public urbain. Ce numéro thématique de la revue Géocarrefour vise à explorer les différentes formes d’interaction entre les pratiques de ces migrants et les politiques liées à l’encadrement des déplacements et/ou à l’accueil des Roms migrants dans les villes européennes.

  New-Build Gentrifications: Forms, Places and Processes

  Dans sa définition classique, la gentrification désigne la transformation physique et sociale d'anciens quartiers urbains. Récemment, ce concept a été élargi pour inclure des projets issus d'opérations de régénération de friches urbaines. Ce séminaire se focalise sur la question de la "new-build gentrification" et sur certaines tendances récentes de la dynamique urbaine telles que les politiques de densification et de régénération. Des contributions seraient particulièrement bienvenues sur le rôle des différents acteurs impliqués dans ces phénomènes (autorités locales et nationales, acteurs du marché immobilier, ménages qui s'installent dans ces nouveaux quartiers).
