Crossing urban Planning cultures in time of conflict and reconciliation
Views on continental Europe, 1937-1945. Session 69 – EAUH 2026
The aim of this approach is to consider how national urban planning traditions are shaped by conflict-related constraints during periods of escalation towards war and of occupation. National historiographies have long considered this period as a parenthesis in the circulation of ideas and models. In contrast to this approach, the perspective of the session involves an in-depth investigation of urban planning theories on a European scale, as well as an analysis of personal and institutional exchanges, technical transfers and expertises before and during World War II.

Precarious housing in the Global South
Public interventions and residents' expériences
This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Heritage dynamics in the urban peripheries
Heritage and the Metropolis
Metropolitan cities are well understood to be in the course of constant change. The city’s edges push ever outward into the suburbs or the hinterland. Heritage, on the other hand, certainly in the guide of preservation is often constructed as resistance to change; and yet is not static. The call is aimed at researchers interested in the relationship between heritage and the metropolis, between heritage preservation and urbanisation, in different geographical contexts. We want to compare situations observed in the North and South, in formerly industrialised and non-industrialised regions, in very active metropolises and others in decline.

10 ans après la COP21, quelles transformations écologiques dans les territoires ?
Ralentir, bifurquer, « transitionner »
En octobre 2015 se tenait en France la COP 21 sur le climat. L’accord de Paris, issu de cette COP, visait à maintenir le réchauffement de la Terre en deçà de 2°C, voire 1,5 °C par rapport aux niveaux préindustriels. Qu’en est-il 10 ans après ? Pourquoi les politiques territoriales de développement continuent-elles à tenir à distance les objectifs environnementaux pourtant identifiés et fixés depuis plus d’une décennie ? Avons-nous vraiment « ralenti » ? Ne faut-il pas bifurquer plus radicalement pour transformer nos territoires ?

Understanding and reconverting tertiary vacancy
The vacancy of tertiary buildings is a growing issue in urban and regional dynamics. While vacant offices are a visible symptom of economic, social and environmental mutations, they also represent an opportunity to rethink the role of business districts and the uses of the city as a whole. The aim is to analyse tertiary vacancy in France and Europe for identifying the potential for converting unoccupied buildings, whether into housing or other functions: coliving, hotels, industrial or commercial activities, data centres, living labs, collaborative spaces, etc.

Sheltering the Displaced. Housing the ‘Other’ and the Making of the Post-war City
European Association for Urban History (EAUH) conference 2026
La session 70 “Sheltering the Displaced. Housing the ‘Other’ and the Making of the Post-war City”, organisée dans le cadre de la conférence de l’European Association for Urban History – City Networks in Europe and Beyond (Barcelone, du 2 au 5 septembre 2026) propose d’explorer comment les mouvements de population de l’après-guerre ont façonné les villes européennes à travers des politiques de logement destinées aux nouveaux migrants. Elle invite à réfléchir aux effets sociaux, politiques et spatiaux de ces politiques, ainsi qu’aux dynamiques d’intégration, de ségrégation et de transformation urbaine qui en ont découlé.

Market gardening and fruit trees in urban and peri-urban areas
Socio-environmental issues and planning challenges
The evolution of market gardening and fruit trees is a rapidly expanding field of research, hence the need for in-depth studies to identify and maximize their positive impacts in disparate urban contexts (geographical and climatic) marked by often difficult conditions and particularly strong competition between different possible uses of resources. They play an essential socio-cultural role by reflecting important heritage, symbolic, and identity values. Finally, they bring local communities together around participatory and innovative projects involving citizens, public decision-makers, associations, and researchers.

Habitabilité, sobriété, intensification
Une autre manière de fabriquer la ville #6
Depuis vingt ans, l’enchaînement des crises sociales, économiques, identitaires, technologiques, environnementales et aujourd’hui sanitaires et géopolitiques, transforme profondément la manière de fabriquer et de produire de la ville. Les limites de la métropolisation, des gouvernances locales et du capitalisme urbain imposent de trouver des alternatives. Ces alternatives, que l’on a appelé altermétropolisation, se retrouvent dans de nouvelles manières d’appréhender les fonctions urbaines classiques que sont les transports, le logement, le gouvernement ou encore l’environnement. Dans le même temps l’émergence et l’affirmation de phénomènes comme l’ubérisation territoriale ou la nécessité de décarboner les métropoles du Nord comme du Sud, constituent de nouveaux enjeux pour le développement et l’aménagement de nos villes.

Feeding urban territories in North Africa
Crossed perspectives from Algeria and Egypt
This collective volume explores urban food supply systems in North Africa, with a particular focus on Algeria and Egypt, where rapid processes of metropolization and megalopolization intensify pressures on food resources. Through a territorially grounded approach, the book aims to examine the challenges of food security in cities facing urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, rising food demand, and increasing dependence on imports. The objective is to provide a cross-cutting analysis of territorial dynamics, supply chains, urban–rural reconfigurations, and the limitations of public policies in addressing urban food systems. Contributions are expected to adopt empirical, comparative, or modelling approaches, addressing themes such as urban planning, multi-level governance, food justice, short supply chains, and the regulation of informal economies, all within a broader perspective of strengthening the resilience of urban food systems.

Contested Geographies of Mountain Futures in the Socio and Eco-climate crisis
This call for papers invites contributions exploring, from a critical geography and political ecology perspective, the socio-environmental futures of mountain regions in the context of the eco-climatic crisis. It focuses on how power relations, conflicts, discourses, and imaginaries shape policies and visions of “mountain futures”. The aim is to analyze the tensions between dominant and alternative approaches, questioning dynamics of governance, socio-environmental justice, and the social production of nature. Submissions should offer theoretical and/or empirical reflections on post-crisis scenarios, paying particular attention to subaltern actors, alternative visions, and forms of contestation across diverse mountain contexts.

According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

Vulnérabilités et résiliences socio-spatiales
MOCTE 2026
Ce colloque vise à mettre en scène les diverses formes de résiliences associées aux vulnérabilités croisées auxquelles individus, organisations et territoires sont de nos jours soumis, sous la pression de plus en plus croissante d’une mondialisation toujours plus oppressive, particulièrement dans les marges et périphéries socio-spatiales. Il se focalisera sur la manière dont les difficultés et la capacité à surmonter celles-ci se manifestent dans les relations entre mobilités, culture et territoire, les stratégies de résilience face aux multiples vulnérabilités, l’impact des faiblesses de notre monde actuel et sur la façon dont sont développées les forces pour y faire face.

« Revue Stendhal »
Il s’agit d’envisager, d’un point de vue d’ordre épistémocritique, comment Stendhal développe un savoir géographique original et peut-être inédit au sein d’une œuvre proprement littéraire. Plusieurs directions pourraient ainsi être privilégiées autour de l’idée d’un « Stendhal géographe » : Le contexte : Quelles sont les sources de l’innutrition et de la documentation stendhaliennes ? L’écriture : comment, par une logique du mixte, Stendhal s’inscrit-il dans ce contexte et développe des perspectives de constitution d’un savoir géographique au croisement de différents savoirs, de différentes pratiques ?

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
Revue « Parcours anthropologiques »
Les villes arabes, souvent considérées comme traditionnelles ou marginales, ont été redécouvertes par les sciences sociales depuis les années 1970. Ces recherches montrent que ces villes ne sont pas simplement des exemples d'urbanité dégradée, mais des espaces dynamiques qui remettent en question les modèles occidentaux d'urbanisation. Elles révèlent également des pratiques informelles et des formes de résistance qui redéfinissent les relations entre citoyens et pouvoirs. En quoi ces observations pourraient-elles influencer notre compréhension des dynamiques urbaines contemporaines ? Quelles nouvelles perspectives pourraient émerger de cette relecture des villes arabes ?

Les nouveaux défis des mobilités rurales
Revue « Flux »
This issue of Flux invites us to examine the mobility issues facing rural communities today. More specifically, it sheds light on the particularities that characterize rural territories in terms of travel, but also the difficulties encountered by the populations that populate them and the forms of ingenuity (individual, collective, informal, institutional, technical, project-based, etc.) that develop there.

Plans, Projects and Trajectories through the Lens of Agroecology and Landscape
Âge2SCoT Symposium
The Âge2SCoT project explores the (debatable) hypothesis of a "second age" of SCoTs and aims to sketch this early outlines twenty years after their creation. To this end, the Symposium aims to explore the relationship between plan/project and trajectory through three interrelated prisms : agroecologu, (large-scale) landscape, and counter-narrative(s) in the field of spatial planning.
