  Territorial fractures, ruptures, discontinuities and borders: issues for planners

  The French-British Study Planning Group / Groupe franco-britannique de recherche en aménagement et urbanisme, has worked for 20 years on the building of networks and intellectual bridges between the communities of planning research and practice on both sides of the Channel. Since 2005 it has been formally constituted as a sub-group of the Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP). The potential retreat of the current United Kingdom from the European Union presents a new context and it is natural that the group should turn its attention to the territorial impacts which could arise as a result. It is also an occasion to reflect more widely on all forms of territorial discontinuities, ruptures and borders, including those at the national, regional and local scales, and which are of concern to planning research and practice.

  Health and Territory (San-Te)

  La santé est aujourd’hui une préoccupation majeure pour les différents acteurs et organismes concourant à la fabrication et à la gestion de l’environnement bâti. En témoigne le foisonnement de publications et d’événements autour de ce thème, en France comme à l’étranger. Le colloque « San-Te », organisé dans le cadre du programme de recherche LIFE, ambitionne de contribuer à nourrir ces débats en interrogeant les enjeux complexes liés à la santé et au bien-être en milieu urbain et les manières dont ils sont pris en compte dans les politiques et l’action publiques.

  The middle classes in the contemporary city

  Depuis les deux dernières décennies, les classes moyennes font l’objet de nombreux débats scientifiques autour de leur définition, de leurs modes de vie, de leur positionnement politique et de leurs transformations, avec par exemple le débat sur le déclassement ou celui sur la contribution des classes moyennes à la solidarité collective. En termes plus académiques, l’analyse de ces groupes intermédiaires permet d’interroger les reconfigurations sociales et les évolutions des frontières entre groupes sociaux en cours dans les sociétés contemporaines. Ce colloque propose de prolonger ces débats en se centrant plus spécifiquement sur l’analyse des rapports au territoire des classes moyennes et de leur place dans la ville contemporaine.

  Rails and urban development. A Comparative Approach between France and the United Kingdom

  In France as in the United Kingdom, the issue of sustainable development along with preoccupations about energy costs are leading developers and urban planners to put rail transport at the centre of their concerns. Despite this similar context and though development in both countries has in general been strongly linked to rail, the relationships between urban development and rail transport seem to be quite different. France has seen a strong development of its tram networks since the beginning of the 1980s, whereas in Britain the revival of light rail systems has been more modest. On the other hand, the emergence of urban ‘railway star’ networks to service the peripheries of large cities has been more pronounced in Britain. Yet the role of major transport projects is a crucial issue in both countries in the metropolitan strategies of large urban areas like London and Paris.To comparatively explore the issue of railway transport and urban development the universities of Paris 1 Sorbonne and Liverpool are organising two linked seminars. The first of these will take place in Paris in May 2012, and consider the (re)development of LRT and tramway systems. The second seminar will be held in Liverpool in Autumn 2012 and address the issue of links between territorial development and railways.
