Perennites Industrielles Dans Les Villes Moyennes Francaises Paperback

Corinne Luxembourg

Since the end of the 1960s, the process of deindustrialisation in France has become more and more widespread. Thus, French industry lost 500,000 jobs between 2000 and 2006. At the local level, it is mainly small and medium-sized cities that are concerned, particularly because of their economic and land attractions. These cities have become interface cities, in turn questioned about their industrial character, about their urbanity, about the relations of the production spaces with the urban space and the upheavals of which they are the object. In parallel or successively, these cities are experiencing changes, sometimes under the impetus of policies such as conversion poles, the competitiveness cluster, attempts to revitalize industry or the choice of tertiarization. However, regardless of the choices made, to a greater or lesser extent these cities remain industrial by the feelings of the inhabitants, the housing of the employees, the landscape, the imaginary. Added to this are the political will to conserve, to put in heritage, to mark the urban space of evocative elements of identity, collective memory.
