REGIONAL development ,URBAN policy - Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the place of the Cohesion Policy (CP) within a multiscalar urban policy constellation that shapes metropolisation dynamics. While there is broad agreement the CP seeks to foster metropolisation at regional scale and above, how this ties into its action at city scale and below in specific urban contexts is not always well understood. Through a mixed-methods case study of the Romanian city of Iași informed by a brennerian perspective, three main questions are tackled: in a given city, does the CP exert a coherent influence upon metropolisation dynamics? How does it weave-into place-specific metropolisation dynamics? How does it relate to other elements of the relevant governance constellation? This paper finds that, while the CP does not have a very coherent action at city scale, it enables local actors’ own agendas. Those agendas are oriented towards metropolisation and locational policies broadly compatible with the CP’s priorities, because local actors are embedded in and channelled by a multi-scalar policy context of which the CP is a part.

L’article interroge une tendance de l’architecture qui a pris un relief tout à fait remarquable à la fin du XXe siècle : celle du recours à l’architecture dite iconique associée à des starchitectes dans une perspective de mise en visibilité et de compétitivité des villes. Dans ce sens et dans un contexte de plus en plus mondialisé, le phénomène commence à prendre une certaine ampleur au Maroc, il marque une transformation de la ville marocaine par le projet, rompant ainsi avec les paradigmes antérieurs de fabrication de la ville et annonçant un virage historique qu’il convient de saisir. Rejetant une approche trop étroitement architecturale, l’article se propose d’en analyser les origines et les effets urbains, culturels, sociaux et politiques. De manière précise, il questionne l’émergence de l’architecture iconique au Maroc, son processus de mise en œuvre et la posture de ses maîtres d’œuvres, et ce à travers deux projets culturels iconiques ; le théâtre CasArts et le théâtre Mohammed VI, conçus respectivement par Christian De Portzamparc et ZahaHadid. Ces deux édifices surviennent dans un contexte où l’édifice iconique se pose comme enjeu urbain dans les deux villes de Casablanca et Rabat, villes en quête de métropolisation et de rayonnement, notamment par la culture. De l’œuvre vers l’icône, les deux édifices sont étudiés comme pensée intellectuelle des starchitectes en appréhendant la notion de l’architecture iconique, de la conception à la perception en passant par l’approche de la contextualisation de l’œuvre et son impact sur son environnement urbain, l’image qu’elle offre et sa représentation. Des outils diversifiés sont interpelés pour analyser les édifices dans leur interaction urbaine et sociétale faisant appel aux contacts directs, au numérique et aux cartes mentales. D’une iconicité fabriquée, les deux présentent l’incarnation du projet iconique plus ou moins perçu comme tel. Cependant, les deux œuvres abordent des postures différenciées ; du complexe urbain qui prend en compte l’espace urbain et le reprend à l’intérieur, à l’édifice spectacle qui joue le rôle d’ornement urbain ; d’une architecture répondant à un programme à une architecture sculpture, ils se distinguent déjà, l’un par sa façade habitée et l’autre par son enveloppe. Leur contenant devance leur contenu, ils dépassent leur rôle utilitaire pour renvoyer une image prédéfinie d’internationalisation, de modernité et de puissance.

Algiers is experiencing spatial and structural changes in its economy, as a result of globalization working in the world's metropolises, targeting the tertiary activities of the new global economy. The metropolis of Algeria, concentrates: population, activities and wealth, at the head of its network at three scales: urban, regional and national providing an international position in the Mediterranean basin on its south shore. Gateway to Globalization, Algiers is transforming the economic organization of its national urban system. This new tertiary sector concerns higher services, and calls for metropolitan functions (high level) and attaches to reinforce the higher level of the urban hierarchy. Our approach is based on GIS to capture changes; territorial and metropolitan movements (overconcentration and deconcentration) take place between central and peripheral neighborhoods, producing a new organization, which is the global metropolisation, linked to economic internationalization, the official beginning of which dates from 1997.

Metropolisation is a process that includes the consequences of global phenomena transferred to the level of metropolitan areas, being the result of various legal and social processes, which is best illustrated by the example of French and Polish institutional solutions. France has been chosen to perform the analysis on due to the uniqueness of its legal regulations in the field of the issues covered in the study (e.g., the institution of metropolitan poles [le pôle métropolitain]). The possibility of creating a metropolis in its current form has existed in France since 2010, but the legislative bodies are still introducing changes to strengthen the legal position of this institution. The French legal order continues to reinforce the role and importance of the metropolis as a unit of inter-municipal cooperation that can take over the department and region’s essential competences to manage the metropolitan area more effectively. In a sense, France is becoming a model of organisation and functioning for contemporary metropolises in Poland, which are beginning to emerge as a certain remedy to the effectiveness issue of performing supra-regional tasks. This article provides an analysis of the law as it stands for legal regulations concerning the organisation and functioning of metropolises both in France and Poland in a comparative and legal context, with the aim of making postulates regarding the choice of a right formula for performing tasks in contemporary local governments.

In recent years, the dynamic of spatial change has been increasing, influenced by processes linked to the transformation of traditional industrial regions into metropolitan areas. This is related to changes in function and administrative status, but above all to spatial changes. Examples of cities experiencing dynamic landscape changes from coal mining cities to modern metropolises can be found in the former coal basins of Central Europe – the Upper Silesian Metropolis in Poland and the Ostrava-Karviná Region in the Czechia. This study analysed the transformation of the landscape on the basis of land cover data from the years 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018. The index of landscape change and the index of change of individual cover types were calculated, and on the basis of these indices the main processes responsible for the transformation of the landscape were determined. In the two study areas, similar changes in the landscape are taking place but at different rates. The main processes changing the landscape are suburbanization, reindustrialization and agricultural land abandonment. In space, they are manifested in an increase in the areas of residential, commercial and service development, the densification of the road network, and an increase in land allocated for new industrial plants. At the same time, the acreage of agricultural land (mainly arable fields, orchards and plantations but also open landscapes) is decreasing.

In the now thirty-year-long history of the construction of a formal dimension of the metropolisation process in Italy, the dynamics of administrative reorganisation triggered by Law 56/2014 saw the emergence of the metropolitan city as an element of rupture in the relations between territorial levels. These dynamics are explored through the Roman case, in which the process of institutionalisation of the metropolitan city presents numerous criticalities with respect to the central city’s value as capital, the organisational structure within the metropolitan territory, the relationship with the Latium Region and the relationship with the State regarding European programming.

The urban-industrial growth of the city of Querétaro (Mexico) corresponds to the process of economic globalisation and the logic of financial capital. The article reports on the logic behind the construction of industrial parks and 'housing lots' or estates as closed and privatised spaces, both components of neo-liberal metropolisation. On the basis of the research work carried out in the La Pradera housing lots, the logic of real estate capital and the production of conflicts that challenge the processes of the precarisation of life as well as the excluding logics of the real estate market are visible. The demand for access to green spaces and public services on a continuous basis establishes the debate to concretise the public character and the desire to live differently from the impositions of the market.

metropolises ,central europe ,metropolisation ,taxonomy ,Economics as a science ,HB71-74 - Abstract
Since the fall of communism, the big cities of Central Europe have been included in the international metropolitan network, and their economic performance has improved significantly. Based on that, it can be asserted that the whole region is undergoing a process of metropolisation, which may be manifested by a focus of development in the limited areas of metropolises. Therefore this paper aims to present the results of a closer examination of this process in Central Europe. It is based on a comparative analysis of the metropolises in relation to their countries in terms of economic performance. A taxonomic approach based on Hellwig’s development pattern is adopted. The available Eurostat data (NUTS 3 level) on a range of socio‑economic characteristics is used. The study results show that the economic performance of Central European metropolises is relatively closer to Western Europe’s cities than the countries’ non‑metropolitan parts. Highlighting development issues in Central Europe from the spatial‑metropolitan point of view is the paper’s added value.

Postindustrial agglomerations struggling with image deficits and environmental problems are looking for new development paths to take. One of these paths can bring about the development of business tourism, including the industry of the organisation of meetings and events. The unique and attractive character of the place can favour taking such a direction. The business tourism sector can therefore become an instrument contributing to the sustainable metropolisation of the city by building up its position in the global network of flows. The development of the meetings and events sector allows, therefore, for a change of image, for a re-evaluation of endogenous resources, including those relating to the industrial past, and for tapping into the unlimited resources of the global network. Increased attention in this network may lead to an influx of more events, and of investors as well. Replacing heavy industry with an enlarged service sector and modern industry based on flexible and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises fosters sustainable development. The meetings and events industry can become a tool for sustainable development and the promotion of its ideas, related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The trajectory outlined above seems very promising. However, to some extent, it is just a hypothesis. The author undertakes to test it on the example of Katowice, a former industrial city which has decided to follow the route outlined above to become a city that hosts many events, including the COP24 summit in 2018. In the article, the author presents empirical research studies whose authors tried to determine whether the path the city has chosen has a real impact on its image and development. The author also deals with the question of the sustainability of such a development path and the conditions for its self-support in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

REGIONAL development , *SUSTAINABLE development , *COHESION , *METROPOLIS , *SOLIDARITY - Abstract
Until recently, spaces of low-density (especially rural spaces) were considered as being secondary, at best as "reservoirs" of resources feeding. Today, this vision is increasingly criticized. On the one hand, the environmental, social and human damages caused by intensive urbanization become more obvious. On the other hand, spaces of low density are more and more seen as territories by their own, offering high quality and more human working and living environments. Indeed, these spaces become more attractive for many urbans seeking more healthy and quiet places. This doesn't mean, however, that large cities and metropolises are to be significantly rejected or abandoned. Our hypothesis is rather that the real challenge is to design new forms of territorial organization and governance strongly based on solidarity, cooperation and cohesion principles at the regional level. The article shows that such new territorial approach is possible and already observable in various regions, especially the Centre-Val de Loire region (CVL) in France on which we focus more specifically. Using various innovative planning, institutional and more specific contractual instruments, such as "reciprocal contracts", this region is engaged in a regional development strategy recognizing the crucial importance of rural and other low-density territories and their diversity for a more balanced, cohesive, innovative and sustainable regional development "for all". The suggests that a new "paradigm" for regional development is probably emerging, which devotes a higher recognition and role to low-density spaces thanks to a more attention devoted to solidarity and cohesion endeavors.

Les stratégies de développement territorial durable (DTD), tant aux échelles régionales que locales, nécessitent des visions à long terme du devenir de leurs territoires de mise en œuvre. L’action publique, locale ou régionale, en vue d’un développement plus cohésif et répondant aux principes de la durabilité implique une démarche prospective dépassant la simple prévision économique et statistique, de façon à prendre en compte la pluralité des avenirs possibles. Dans cet article, en restituant les principaux résultats d’un exercice de prospective concernant les incidences de la métropolisation sur la cohésion régionale à l’horizon 2050 au sein de la Région Centre-Val de Loire (France), nous entendons illustrer tout l’apport et les limites d’une telle démarche dans la conception d’une stratégie régionale de DTD. A cette fin, on s’appuie donc sur les travaux de prospective menés au sein du Conseil Economique, Social et Environnemental de la Région Centre-Val de Loire (CESER CVL) pour analyser les conséquences à long terme de l’institutionnalisation des métropoles de Tours et d’Orléans sur l’organisation territoriale de la Région, non sans avoir au préalable rappelé les principes et méthodes de la prospective territoriale.

Embodying for a long time the image of an administrative capital where the functionary dominate, where the urban setting is aging and where quality of life is declining, the city of Rabat has recently embarked on a frantic race to reinvent a new image: a modern, innovative and qualitative image. In order to achieve this, several projects and programs of development, embellishment and construction, has been initiated with a common feature which is greatness (large theater, high towers, large stations, large arteries, new centralities, etc.). This greatness aspect is visible through the importance of the areas involved, the volumes and the shapes designed, the modes of transport developed, the means and resources deployed in add to the promotion of architectural signatures of the renowned architects, and the modes of governance and project management. Henceforth, Rabat shows its ambition as a city of culture, as a green city and as a “city of light”. The time of Rabat, as administrative city, is over. However, the image displayed and publicized seems controversial compared to the reality of certain urban spaces, often with high heritage value, that develop on the margins of programs and projects initiated. Real deficits are observed in terms of basic equipment and services, in terms of transport network and in terms of urban coherence and social cohesion. Everything contributes to an urban image with two facets: one more qualitative, more modern and more elitist, while the other is more spontaneous, more vulnerable and more devalued. Faced with this identity transition and this double temporality, what image and identity do we want for Rabat? What vocations do we claim for this city which aspires to become a national and international metropolis? What developments should be advocated for a capital with such a rich and diversified history? What relationship can be established between the local identity and the global identity of the city? How does the citizen apprehend his living spaces in the face of such universal urban model, where social connections as well as the spatial relationship mutate towards new practices? These questions will be enlightened through the confrontation of major projects underway and urban realities, through the analysis of the new urban model which is universal, modern and generating a new image and a new urban identity, as well as through the impact of these major projects both on the urban landscape and quality of life. It’s with these considerations in mind that this paper is drawn up: « Rabat, a metropolitan city », between displayed image and reality of image and identity.

L’intervention d’une institution métropolitaine peut-elle remédier à une offre de soins lacunaire pour ses habitants ? Cette interrogation guide l’analyse de l’action nouvelle d’Orléans Métropole en matière de santé. Face au nombre insuffisant de médecins pour couvrir les besoins de la population, les maires interviennent par la création de maisons de santé pluridisciplinaire. Vu l’ampleur des besoins, une réponse strictement communale s’avère néanmoins insuffisante. L’intervention métropolitaine semble légitimée pour coordonner, arbitrer et réguler l’action publique locale. Toutefois, les compétences de la métropole ne sont que partiellement exploitées. En premier lieu, Orléans Métropole a une capacité d’action limitée faute de fondements juridiques explicites pour asseoir sa légitimité et bénéficier d’outils performants. En second lieu, la métropole est à la fois concurrencée à l’échelle extra-métropolitaine par la région et les territoires adjacents, souhaitant échapper à toute satellisation, et à l’échelle intramétropolitaine par les communes membres, souhaitant préserver leur autonomie.

Since most research on economic metropolisation has until now concentrated on "high added value" workers on both sides of the border, little place is left for analysis either of the less valued categories in the process of metropolisation, or of the diversity of jobs within the regional labour markets. What, then, is the position of less favoured social categories in the evolution of cross-border metropolises over the last decades, when compared with managers or other liberal professions? To answer this question, a case study is carried out here on the cross-border commuters in the Lorraine Region (France), who participate in great numbers in the metropolisation of Luxembourg, by comparing them to those who work in France. The objective of this article is to give an account of the spatiotemporal evolution of the principal social classes among the cross-border commuters, based on the French population censuses. These databases, from 1968 to the present day, are comparable both in the time and space. The results confirm that a cross-border metropolis of Luxembourg has been formed, notably since the 1990s, by a substantial increase of highly qualified cross-border commuters, as well as by an augmentation of the less qualified workforce during this period: thus, in the Region of Lorraine, even in 2013, the share of the cross-border working class (commuting to Luxembourg) remains greater than that of the working class within France. Moreover, complex links exist in the phenomenon of metropolisation between historical social segregations and specifically metropolitan segregations in terms of the socio-spatial organisation of the territory in question: for example, the secondary urban centres of the French metropolitan area, such as Thionville or Metz, serve as a residential reservoir for the most highly qualified cross-border commuters, especially when this type of workforce has already been observed in these agglomerations in the past. Primary results point to the need to learn more about the conditions of different residential trajectories, as well as about the social status of different workforces on each side of the border.

Rennes 2020 municipal election highlights the difficulty of integrating neighborhood activists, who are engaged in forms of piecemeal resistance to local urban planning projects, into an antigrowth coalition. Several factors explain this difficulty: the internal tensions between the members of this coalition, whose goals are partially different; the reluctance of neighborhood activists to get involved in politics; the political alliance system and the voting results which constrain the antigrowth entrepreneurs to reach a compromise with the outgoing mayor, despite the disapproval of the neighborhood activists.

Until recently, the terms “metropolis” and “metropolitanisation” were mainly used by academics and officials involved in the government of large urban areas. There are now signs that these phenomena are being taken up and politicised by social movements. In this special issue, the authors analyse some examples of such movements. In the introduction, we first situate the issue of metropolitan mobilisations within the literature analysing urban social movement. Based on this body of works and the articles gathered in the issue, we then formulate a number of cross-cutting findings, hypotheses and research perspectives. These relate to the adaptation of forms and repertoires of mobilisation to the characteristics of metropolitanisation; to the cognitive and discursive resources provided by metropolitan semantics and imaginaries for universalising the cause of movements; to the socially selective attributes of the main actors involved; and to the role of political opportunity structures that contribute to the metropolitan re-scaling of social movements in France. Finally, we examine the effects of metropolitan social movements on local public action, and vice versa.

Metropolisation is today a central object of academic criticism and social movements. Associated with the evolutions of capitalism, it would tend to become a major axis in the denunciation of the neoliberalization of cities. In Lyon, and more particularly in La Guillotière, a neighborhood undergoing profound transformations, in a context of affirmation of the metropolis as an institution, several local urban struggles oppose the social, environmental and material consequences of metropolisation. These mobilizations contribute to the dynamics of the reappropriation of urban spaces, the relocalization of politics and the politicization of the metropolitan scale. They trace two paths for political transformation on a local scale: invest the metropolitan institution in order to politicize it by imposing an alternative to the neo-liberal hegemony; relocalize politics on a neighborhood scale, by reconquering the common in the metropolitan space.

In this paper we investigate a specific type of protest against metropolises: cohousing and everyday practices in rural spaces, away from urban centers. We refer to an ethnographic study on several rural eco-cohousing places in order to show that they can exist both as refuges and contentious spaces for individuals who are discontent with their life in existing metropolises. We cannot immediately assign critical and political intentions to the inhabitants that we have met. Actually, they do not explicitly protest against metropolises or metropolisation, contrary to some contemporary urban social movements. However, their biographical trajectories as well as their everyday practices indicate a choice that go beyond a simple residential move. We explain that this peculiar style of protest corresponds to what has already been theorised as prefigurative politics. It implies both a depoliticisation of usual contentious politics and a politicisation of domestic spaces.

The Large Technological System (LTS) is a central concept in the epistemologies of Action-Network Theories (ant), related with poststructuralist epistemologies, and an important tool for the analysis of territorial systems. In this paper, we will use the lts concept to examine the hydrologic system of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, making emphasis on three aspects: the natural structure, the technological complex, and the normative framework. The goal was to explore the metropolitan geopolitics of water use in La Sabana de Bogotá and the particularities in the water governance, highlighting the incidence of municipalism and the interaction of a wide group of private, governmental, and civic actors. It was examined the physical infrastructure provided by the Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá (eab-esp) that works as a quasi-monopoly actor in water management as well as their interaction with the highly autonomous municipalities. Other actors such as the real estate, floriculture, mining, and dairy activities was included in the analysis. The report gives special attention to the highly complex relationships between them and how they work in a complex and multiscale normative framework. The text concludes emphasizing the different challenges of water governance in a context of rapid metropolisation, complexing economic relations and climate and environmental change.

Marseille is broadly considered a postindustrial city in crisis, which has failed to achieve a functional reconversion and a change of narrative in the age of globalization. Over the last two decades, however, processes of regionalized and integrated metropolisation have had an impact on the city’s urban renaissance prospects. This paper identifies three central projects, which symbolically represent and concretely articulate different axes of Marseille’s metropolisation processes: Euroméditerranée (1995-*); The European Capital of Culture Marseille-Provence 2013; and the institutional creation of the Métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence. This paper proposes to approach metropolisation as a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Drawing on the three aforementioned cases, we analyze the different territorial-spatial scales affected, as well as the various geographic scales of governance stakeholders involved. Reflecting on their scopes of impact respectively, the aim of the study is to investigate the challenges and opportunities of multi-scalar metropolisation for Aix-Marseille-Provence, and to discuss to what extent this conflictual plurality might (not) be promising for a consensual metropolitan integration in the future.

Postindustrial agglomerations struggling with image deficits and environmental problems are looking for new development paths to take. One of these paths can bring about the development of business tourism, including the industry of the organisation of meetings and events. The unique and attractive character of the place can favour taking such a direction. The business tourism sector can therefore become an instrument contributing to the sustainable metropolisation of the city by building up its position in the global network of flows. The development of the meetings and events sector allows, therefore, for a change of image, for a re-evaluation of endogenous resources, including those relating to the industrial past, and for tapping into the unlimited resources of the global network. Increased attention in this network may lead to an influx of more events, and of investors as well. Replacing heavy industry with an enlarged service sector and modern industry based on flexible and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises fosters sustainable development. The meetings and events industry can become a tool for sustainable development and the promotion of its ideas, related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The trajectory outlined above seems very promising. However, to some extent, it is just a hypothesis. The author undertakes to test it on the example of Katowice, a former industrial city which has decided to follow the route outlined above to become a city that hosts many events, including the COP24 summit in 2018. In the article, the author presents empirical research studies whose authors tried to determine whether the path the city has chosen has a real impact on its image and development. The author also deals with the question of the sustainability of such a development path and the conditions for its self-support in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The region of Tangier is considered as Morocco’s dynamic economic corner. It is the receptacle of infrastructure and development projects supported by the Moroccan state and international investors. The most impressive project is the Tanger-Med port with its panoply of free zones. The opening for foreign capital and international exchange notably modified Tangier’s connectivity with the rest of the world and in particular with western Africa. The latter is often also one of the targets of investors’ strategies using Tangier as a transregional hub. The city is (re)developing into an international metropolis, a “gate to Africa”. We formulate the hypothesis that Tangier (a secondary city) is transforming through three interlinked, relatively concomitant, but distinct processes : a metropolisation process that can be read in the diversification and upgrading of Tangier’s economy ; a globalisation process around Tanger-Med, which is relentless, but not unprecedented and inscribes the region in the international division of production processes ; and a regionalisation process that integrates it into transnational and urban economic networks, with links as far as West Africa. These processes under study have to be interpreted in the light of regional and African (re-)orientations exhibited since King Mohamed VI acceded to the throne. The example of Tangier illustrates the interlocking between globalisation and regionalisations serving international and liberal economic development.

The concentration of the worldwide economic, financial and political activities in a few international metropolitan areas seems to continue. Cities that manage to be part of these networks experience generally an economic growth. But cities that fall out of these connections struggle to stay attractive for investments, jobs and people. This applies especially to medium and small size cities without a particular historic, economic or natural environment, that let them stand out. But also inside international metropolitan areas the advantages of being part of the worldwide network are not distributed equally. The metropolitan centre becomes more attractive and at the same time financially inaccessible for the majority of the population. While the high-income population stays, the low-income population is pushed out in the peripheral cities. These cities risk to concentrate an economic and social fragile population, without possessing the necessary financial means to support these households. A metropolitan and even national adjustment between the cities and territories becomes necessary. The following text describes the situation of three cities in the Paris metropolitan area.

Political changes that followed after 1989 led to the creation of local selfgovernment in Poland. As a result, a municipality, a county and a voivodship selfgovernment were established. In the course of these reforms, however, the problem of the system of metropolitan areas, and thus their management, has not been resolved. Making metropolisation in Poland, understood as creating special solutions for metropolitan areas in the form of large urban agglomerations, that are facilities of various networks (transport, scientific, economic) and development centers, is not satisfactory. Initiatives to ensure management of metropolitan areas have been undertaken for a long time, but still without achieving sufficient results. In 2015, the Act on metropolitan unions was adopted, whose provisions constituted the basis for creating metropolitan unions regardless of the country's area. On the basis of its provisions, however, no metropolitan union was established. In return, there was undertaken the work on the subsequent act in analyzed area - this time concerning only the area of the Silesian voivodship. The purpose of the article is to analyze provisions of the act on metropolitan union in the Silesian voivodship, aiming at determination of effectiveness and sufficient nature of these provisions in the area of metropolitan areas management in Poland. The regulations regarding only one, though undoubtedly the largest urban agglomeration in Upper Silesia, which is currently the case, seems insufficient to assume that the problem of providing a special system and rules for management of metropolitan areas has been solved.

La première partie présente les secteurs, les étapes, la répartition géographique et les acteurs des 14,6 milliards de dollars des projets financés sur la période 2000-2017, concentrés surtout dans les secteurs de l’énergie et des transports-communications. La seconde partie étudie les montages financiers des plus grands projets : barrages et ligne à grande vitesse. Elle montre que le Laos est le premier pays d’Asie du Sud-Est à être rattrapé par les risques de surendettement liés aux modes de financement de ces grands projets. Laos ranks third, after Indonesia and Vietnam, among countries receiving chinese official development finance in Southeast Asia, according to the China AidData database, the most comprehensive on China's overseas deployment related to the New Silk Roads. The first part presents the sectors, timing, geographical distribution and actors of the $14.6 billion of projects financed over the period 2000-2017, concentrated mainly on the energy and transport-communications sectors. The second part studies the financial arrangements of the largest projects: dams and high-speed line. It shows that Laos is the first country in Southeast Asia to be caught up in the risks of over-indebtedness related to the methods of financing these major projects.

La croissance urbano-industrielle de la ville de Querétaro (Mexique) s’inscrit dans le processus de mondialisation économique et d’expansion du capital financier. Cet article rend compte de la logique qui régit la construction des clusters industriels et des lotissements sociaux, en tant qu’espaces fermés et privatisés, ainsi que des tensions créées par la métropolisation néolibérale. La mondialisation a un impact sur le territoire et les systèmes urbains (Pinson, 2021). L’enquête de terrain menée dans le lotissement social de La Pradera permet d’affirmer que même si cet espace correspond au modèle néolibéral de la ville, il implique des résistances (individuelles et collectives) et des revendications autour de l’accès aux services publics. Ces résistances et revendications expriment le désir d’habiter autrement dans des espaces privatisés, reposant sur une logique financière. En outre, elles remettent en question les logiques de ségrégation produites par le marché immobilier. The urban-industrial growth of the city of Querétaro (Mexico) corresponds to the process of economic globalisation and the logic of financial capital. The article reports on the logic behind the construction of industrial parks and 'housing lots' or estates as closed and privatised spaces, both components of neo-liberal metropolisation. On the basis of the research work carried out in the La Pradera housing lots, the logic of real estate capital and the production of conflicts that challenge the processes of the precarisation of life as well as the excluding logics of the real estate market are visible. The demand for access to green spaces and public services on a continuous basis establishes the debate to concretise the public character and the desire to live differently from the impositions of the market.

Over the last fifty years the tendency towards a dispersion of productive activities that emerged with globalisation and the advent of telematics have fuelled processes that are changing the structure of metropolitan areas across the world. Against the background of the general process of metropolisation, it is interesting nowadays to study the characteristics, structure and development trends of a vast “hybrid” area that has grown up around the established city of Rome. The subject of this work is an analysis of the creative sector between Rome and the sea, and the potential for future development in this area.

International audience; The article proposes an analysis of the implicit ideas that characterize secondary school geography, using the case of metropolization. The analysis is based on a corpus of students' notebooks, textbooks and the program for the sixth grade of secondary school. It revealed, on the one hand, implicit knowledge for the students concerning the division of knowledge and the ways of doing things in the discipline, and on the other hand, a tacit agreement between the students and the teachers concerning the point of view on the world and the position of knowledge constructed. The theme of metropolization makes it possible to uncover an implicit norm of national framing of disciplinary knowledge in high school, in contradiction with the multi-situated approaches of a scientific geography where the production of knowledge has become globalized.; L’article propose une analyse des implicites qui caractérisent la géographie du secondaire à partir du cas de la métropolisation. L'analyse s’appuie sur un corpus de cahiers d’élèves, de manuels et sur le programme de la classe de première. Elle amène à distinguer d’une part, des implicites pour les élèves concernant le découpage des savoirs et les façons de faire dans la discipline, et d’autre part, un accord tacite concernant les élèves et les enseignants à propos du point de vue sur le monde et de la position de savoir construite. Le thème de la métropolisation permet de mettre au jour une norme implicite de cadrage national du savoir disciplinaire en lycée, en porte-à-faux avec les approches multisituées d’une géographie scientifique où la production de savoir s’est mondialisée.

If the term "medium-sized city" includes very heterogeneous categories of cities, our study on the city of Jijel (Algeria) would wonder about the size of this town of an average size (120,000 inhabitants) and sets out characteristics that outclasses it in the urban hierarchy because of its existing assets and the scale of current investments, particularly its international port (Djen djen). In addition to this infrastructure development, it is also attractive for tourists in comparison to other Algerian cities that suffer from the stagnation of this sector. Our article will emphasize mainly on a prospective vision of the urban, economic and social future of this medium sized city, which should regain its development and attractiveness performances in the achievement of its port infrastructures and latent potential.

L’intérêt croissant pour les nouveaux espaces de travail collaboratif à la marge des métropoles nous invite à nous interroger sur les externalités positives supposées de ces lieux largement plébiscités par les pouvoirs publics, en particulier leur contribution à la transition vers des mobilités plus durables dans un système territorial rééquilibré à la faveur des espaces de faible densité. La mobilité dans ces espaces manifestement peu denses, situés en discontinuité par rapport aux agglomérations urbaines, très largement dépendants de l’automobile, constitue en effet un enjeu majeur de la transition écologique et sociale. En ayant recours à deux dispositifs d’enquête complémentaires, un questionnaire en ligne et des relevés GPS, nous interrogeons dans une visée principalement exploratoire les mobilités des usagers des nouveaux espaces de travail collaboratif à la marge des métropoles. Cette première approche nous permet de révéler l’effet des logiques d’inscription territoriale et d’encastrement des relations sociales sur la structuration des mobilités de leurs usagers, et ainsi d’entrevoir un certain nombre d'enjeux et de perspectives pour une transition vers des modes d’habiter plus durables dans les espaces de faible densité. The increased interest in coworking spaces on the margins of metropolitan areas invites us to question the supposed positive externalities of these places, which are widely acclaimed by public authorities, especially for their contribution to the transition to more sustainable mobility in a territorial system rebalenced on sparse areas. Mobility in these obviously low-density areas, located in discontinuity with urban areas and largely dependent on cars, is a major challenge for the ecological and social transition. By using two complementary survey tools, an online questionnaire and a GPS surveys, we question in a mainly exploratory aim the mobilities of coworkers on the margin of metropolitan areas. This first approach allows us to reveal the effect of territorial belonging and embeddedness in social relations on the structure of their users mobilities, and thus to glimpse a certain number of challenges and prospects for a transition towards a more sustainable ways of living in low density areas.

L’article s’intéresse à la manière dont les réformes territoriales françaises de 2014 et 2015, qui ont renforcées les échelons intercommunaux, s’accompagnent d’un repositionnement discursif des publications institutionnelles municipales. L’analyse d’éditoriaux de journaux municipaux met en évidence l’apparition de trois stratégies de communication municipales. Qu’il s’agisse de stratégies de communication « défensive et protectrice », « entrepreneuriale » ou « d’appropriation », ces tendances de communication servent la légitimité et la normalisation de la capacité d’agir politique municipale mise à mal par l’émergence des Métropoles et conduisent à une dissonance communicationnelle sur le territoire métropolitain., The article examines how the French territorial reforms of 2014 and 2015, which strengthened the Metropolises, are accompanied by a discursive repositioning of municipal institutional publications. The analysis of municipal newspaper editorials highlights the emergence of three municipal communication strategies. Whether they are "defensive and protective", "entrepreneurial" or "appropriative" , these strategy trends serve the legitimacy and normalization of the municipal political capacity to act, which is undermined by the government emergence of Metropolises and lead to a communicational disharmony on metropolitan territory.

Cet article discute la thématique de la « contestation » de la métropole, telle qu’elle est étudiée dans les articles du dossier de Métropoles no 28, à partir d’un regard décentré et ancré dans l’expérience métropolitaine de Lyon et de Minneapolis. La réflexion sur (1) le sens attribué à la métropolisation par les acteurs et les chercheurs, (2) les modalités de l’institutionnalisation de la métropole par l’État et (3) le répertoire de ses compétences est ici construite sur le mode du comparatisme. Elle reconnaît les spécificités de la scène métropolitaine en France propice aux mouvements sociaux métropolitains tels qu’ils ont pu être observés sans toutefois valider l’hypothèse de la pertinence de la métropole comme échelle de la mobilisation politique. This article discusses the theme of the "contestation" of the metropolis, as studied in the articles in the dossier of Metropolises #28, from a decentred perspective rooted in the metropolitan experience of Lyon and Minneapolis. The reflection on (1) the meaning attributed to metropolitanisation by actors and researchers, (2) the modalities of the institutionalisation of the metropolis by the State, and (3) the repertoire of its competences, is constructed here in a comparative perspective. It recognises the specificities of the metropolitan scene in France, conducive to metropolitan social movements as they have been observed without, however, validating the hypothesis of the relevance of the metropolis as a scale for political mobilisation.

Transport accessibility is one of the most significant locational factors for both households and firms, and thus a potentially self-reinforcing driver of urban development. The spatial structure and dynamics of accessibility hence have the potential to alter the locational choices of households and firms significantly, leading to concentration and de-concentration processes. In spite of recent innovations in automotive technologies, public transport systems remain crucial for the functioning of metropolises. In this paper, we use the case of public transport in the Munich Metropolitan Region (MMR) in Germany to (1) discuss whether public transport in the past has contributed to regional urbanisation, the blurring of urban and suburban spaces; (2) model future accessibility changes due to the ongoing mega-infrastructure project “second trunk line” (“Zweite Stammstrecke”) for suburban trains and their likely effects on processes of regional development; (3) compare the balance of accessibility and functional density at stations in the MMR and (4) recommend a planning strategy based on an integrated urban and transport planning philosophy. We argue that particularly the monocentric design of the project means that it will intensify and extend the scope of suburbanisation and metropolisation, while planning should aim for a greater regionalisation of economic activity.

The article reviews the conditions for the creation of Métropoles, but also looks at what makes its originality. From the very beginning, the exclusively online review and access to its articles has been free. Métropoles made the metropolitan fact its central object at a time when the issue was not at the center of political or scientific concerns. It was conceived from the outset as a multidisciplinary journal. Ten years after its creation, Métropoles has somehow been caught up by history. "Metropolization" in all its forms is at the heart of many public debates, at both national and local level. The editorial landscape has also expanded, with many publications, of an academic nature or oriented towards a broader audience, tackling the metropolitan fact. In this changing landscape, Métropoles has nevertheless kept its originality. It is one of the few journals where the hypothesis according to which metropolises constitute environments that can secrete specific political operations, practices and mobilizations is taken seriously.

Since the 1960s, Nancy and Metz forms a metropolitan cooperation area. Today, within the Metropolitan Pole of the Sillon Lorrain with Thionville and Épinal, cities are part of complex governance over a space that is still little integrated. Individual logics remain important. The “territorial recomposition” in action is based on a geographical and functional reality. The new prospects brought about by the recent reform of the regional map reinforce the stakes in the Sillon Lorrain, a major crossroads between France and Rhine Europe.

This article examines the evolution of systems of cities in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland since 1950, and especially since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 when Central and Eastern European cities started to experience the process of metropolisation. This period corresponds to an intense globalisation of the economy which has been characterised by some researchers as an emergence of a world urban system. While the metropolises of formerly industrialised countries had already been strongly interconnected on a macro-regional level, Central and Eastern European countries took on the unique approach of prioritising relations directly at an international level. In addition to its highly exacerbated characteristics, the metropolisation in Central and Eastern Europe has been taking place within a substantially shorter time period in relation to other countries. This article investigates how these phenomena might have influenced the configuration of today’s urban systems. After presenting the methodology used to reconstruct urban agglomerations since 1950 until now, we examine the evolution of the Czech, Hungarian and Polish systems of cities by using several national databases. By analysing the changes in urban hierarchy and new urban patterns, we can stress that after 1989 the metropolisation has rather contributed to raise the predominance of the capital city in the urban systems than to diminish inequalities between the cities.

On the basis of its provisions, however, no metropolitan union was established. In return, there was undertaken the work on the subsequent act in analyzed area - this time concerning only the area of the Silesian voivodship. The purpose of the article is to analyze provisions of the act on metropolitan union in the Silesian voivodship, aiming at determination of effectiveness and sufficient nature of these provisions in the area of metropolitan areas management in Poland. The regulations regarding only one, though undoubtedly the largest urban agglomeration in Upper Silesia, which is currently the case, seems insufficient to assume that the problem of providing a special system and rules for management of metropolitan areas has been solved.

- Abstract
It analyzes the process of metropolization that the City of Temuco (Chile) would be experiencing in the last decades, articulated to a set of adjacent urban centers. For this purpose, a series of elements are considered, such as the increase of the constructed surface, the functional evolution of the productive sectors and the mobility and consumption towards the regional capital. In addition to the above, the instruments of territorial planning in force are analyzed. It is argued that Temuco's metropolization would be based on a subordinate integration of the satellite cities, which would become the new periphery of the city, forming a discontinuous urban space, in which the location of social housing and the instruments of territorial planning would be playing a central role in this territorial recomposition.

This paper aims to contribute to knowledge on the level of metropolitan governance through the analysis of a specific case: the Marseille metropolis in southern France. Marseille is broadly considered a postindustrial city in crisis, which has failed to achieve a functional transformation and a change of narrative in the age of globalisation. Over the last two decades, however, processes of regionalised and integrated metropolisation have had an impact on the city's urban renaissance prospects. The paper identifies three central projects, which symbolically represent and concretely articulate different axes of Marseille's metropolisation processes: Euroméditerranée (1995-*), The European Capital of Culture Marseille-Provence 2013 and the institutional creation of the Métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence . This paper proposes to approach metropolisation as a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Drawing on the three aforementioned cases, we analyse the different territorial-spatial scales affected, as well as the various geographic scales of governance stakeholders involved. Reflecting on their scopes of impact, the aim of the study is to investigate the challenges and opportunities of multi-scalar metropolisation for Aix-Marseille-Provence, and to discuss to what extent this conflictual plurality might be promising (or not) for better consensual metropolitan integration in the future. In conclusion, we show that the study on metropolisation in the Marseille region, including the region's unique features, successes and failures, sheds light on and contributes to a better understanding of the evolution of other metropolises of a similar size in France and Europe. Dieser Beitrag liefert Erkenntnisse auf der Ebene der metropolitanen Governance und analysiert zu diesem Zweck ein konkretes Beispiel: die südfranzösische Metropole Marseille. Marseille wird weithin als Großstadt erachtet, die sich in einer postindustriellen Krise befindet: Sie hat es verpasst, einen funktionalen Wandel zu vollziehen und sich an die veränderten Rahmenbedingungen im Zeitalter der Globalisierung anzupassen. Regionalisierte und integrierte Metropolisierungsprozesse haben in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten jedoch die Aussichten auf eine urbane Renaissance der Großstadt verbessert. Der Beitrag stellt drei zentrale Projekte vor, die die einzelnen Teile der Metropolisierungsprozesse von Marseille sowohl symbolisch darstellen als auch konkretisieren: Euroméditerranée (seit 1995), die Europäische Kulturhauptstadt "Marseille-Provence" 2013 und die institutionelle Gründung der Métropole d'Aix-Marseille-Provence . Dieser Beitrag schlägt einen Ansatz vor, der die Metropolisierung als multidimensionales Phänomen erachtet. Aufbauend auf den drei genannten Beispielprojekten werden die einzelnen relevanten territorial-räumlichen Ebenen und die verschiedenen räumlichen Dimensionen der beteiligten Governance-Akteure analysiert. Mit dem Ziel, die Herausforderungen und Chancen der mehrdimensionalen Metropolisierung von Aix-Marseille-Provence zu untersuchen, analysiert der Beitrag den Wirkungsbereich der Projekte und diskutiert, inwiefern diese konfliktreiche Pluralität zukünftig zu einer besseren und konsensorientierten metropolitanen Integration beitragen kann. Abschließend soll unter Berücksichtigung der Besonderheiten, Erfolge und Fehlschläge dieser Region gezeigt werden, dass die Studie über die Metropolisierung von Marseille für die Entwicklung von ähnlich großen Metropolen Frankreichs und Europas neue Erkenntnisse liefert und zu einem tiefgreifenderen Verständnis beiträgt.
