Geographie urbaine de l'exclusion (Urban Geography of Exclusion).
French Abstract: La géographie urbaine de l'exclusion fait face à deux questions : quelle méthode pour l'appréhender ? Quelle répartition spatiale de la pauvreté dans les villes ? Pour y répondre, ce livre crée d'abord un nouvel indice synthétique d'exclusion, agrégeant treize indicateurs issus de différentes sources. Ensuite, en appliquant cet indice aux grandes métropoles françaises, il montre les limites de la « gentrification », terme qui désigne la réoccupation du centre des villes par des catégories socioprofessionnelles relativement aisées, après réhabilitation urbaine de quartiers dotés d'un cachet historique. Alors que la vision habituelle de la géographie de la pauvreté est celle d'un modèle européen (un centre-ville relativement aisé entouré de banlieues défavorisées), les métropoles françaises fonctionnent plutôt sur un modèle américain (un centre-ville dégradé avec une périphérie mieux lotie). Toutefois, il existe d'incontestables diversités spatiales de la pauvreté entre les agglomérations de Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Nice, Marseille et Toulouse. Les données et les nombreuses cartes proposées sont parlantes. Enfin ce livre explique en détail les facteurs de chaque géographie sociale urbaine. Démontrant le caractère centripète de la localisation des problèmes sociaux, ce livre, aux résultats originaux et frappants, fait date.

This book looks at slums and social exclusion in the four major megacities of India and Brazil, and analyzes the interrelationships between urban policies and housing and environmental issues. The challenges posed in Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro and Suo Paulo have spurred public reformers into action through housing, rehabilitation and conservation programs. Civil society and the inhabitants of these cities have also begun to get involved. On the other hand, one must wonder whether these challenges were partly created by the deficiencies of these very reformers and civil society, be it their lack of intervention (as advocates of government intervention would argue), or the flaws and inadequacies of their actions (as supporters of the free market would suggest). Are policies alleviating or aggravating social exclusion This book explores these questions and more.
Residential Segregation in Comparative Perspective
We know very little about variations in urban class and ethnic segregation among nations and even less about differences among cities in different regions of the world. Spatial organization (places and neighbourhoods) matters significantly in some cities in reproducing class relations and ethno-racial hierarchies, but may be much less important in others. The degree and the impact of segregation depend upon contextual diversity. By emphasizing the importance of contextual diversity in the study of urban residential segregation, the book questions currently popular urban theories such as global city, neoliberal urbanism, and gentrification. These theories tend to dissociate cities from their national and regional context and thus ignore their history, culture, politics and institutions. The aim of this book is to introduce the significantly different urban experiences in social and spatial segregation patterns and rationales which exist among the world's regions and to demonstrate that urban theory needs to draw systematically upon this wide range of experiences. The cities selected (Athens, Beijing, Budapest, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Madrid, Paris, São Paulo, Taipei, and Tokyo) were chosen in order to achieve geographical spread, to maximise the diversity of types of socioeconomic regulation.This volume is thus able to avoid the interpretative limitations and misconstructions resulting from universalizing the Anglo-American experience.
