Full textThe development of the Lyon metropolitan area has been the subject of numerous studies since 1945, as part of academic studies, specialized publications and planning documents. These references do not however know the processes at work across the finest scale on the entire territory of the city. The subject has an exploratory dimension. It is based on the identification and mobilization of a large number of heterogeneous archives, often kept with gaps in different locations. The data collected are extremely diverse: administrative records, old maps, aerial photographs, statistics, etc. . . One of the challenges of this research is to integrate these data into a coherent whole, with a Geographical Information System. The creation of databases has allowed the identification of the vast majority of detached housing units and buildings conducted in the urban community of Lyon, since 1945. They offer the possibility to know, at field scale, the dynamics of urbanization throughout the Greater Lyon, from many new qualitative and quantitative elements. This tool is intended to be used and developed. The data and methodology can be reused by others, without compatibility problems. They can lead to the creation of an observatory of urban development, updated in real time

Full textHow land policies are affecting new housing developments in Lyon agglomeration? How do they contribute to reorganize the costs generated by the development of new housing and, more broadly, by the development of new spaces? The first part of this work analyses the housing development dynamics, which contributes to shape the actions of the different actors implicated in new housing markets. The second part of the thesis explores the impact of land policies on market actors identified and studied in the first part. We define the term “land policies” in a broad sense, which include the purchase, the management and the selling of land by public authorities, but also the zoning and the land taxation policies. This work shows that in a context in which local public authorities have to present their urban strategies and projects in advance, their capacities to directly manage land development is limited, unless they invest massive amounts of public funds. Nevertheless, they use other ways to reintroduce uncertainty for housing developers and land owners, and therefore, be in capacity to be the actor who is in capacity to manage this uncertainty. One of the major tools to reach this goal is the use of some forms of discretionary zoning. However, such practices only work when housing developers can support this uncertainty, which mainly is the case in dynamic housing markets. This means that the way local authorities are today managing housing development allows to finance and build a city of quality, but also that public authorities have to multiply specific housing aids (whether in the social or non-social rental sector, or to support homeownership), which benefit to many households but also leave many others in “the edges of the city”, i.e., in many cases, far in the outskirts

Full textHousing First is presented as an alternative way to end homelessness. Its promoters seek to reorient the system of assistance to homeless people so that they can live directly in stable personal housing, with support adapted to their choices and needs. This new doctrine has been circulating since the 1990s in Western countries, where it has been debated, adapted and re-appropriated, feeding a non-fixed doctrinal corpus. In France, it inspires a national strategy to overhaul the temporary accommodation system, prioritizing access to ordinary housing as quickly as possible. This is also embodied in experimental projects such as the program Un chez soi d'abord, which provides housing for homeless people with long street histories and psychiatric disorders.The research questions the coherence of this change program, its outcome as well as the respective place of social housing and accommodation in this reconfigured action system. It is based on a four-year (2017-2020) ethnographic survey of actors involved in the deployment of Housing First in the Lyon metropolitan area, in conjunction with actors and institutions active at national and supranational levels. Housing First is approached as a new category of public action to question and an institutional innovation process to investigate. To be fully meaningful, it needs to be seen in the wider context of the social housing policies to which it contributes.The first part of the thesis presents a socio-history of the emergence of Housing First in France and in the different countries where the doctrine is forged, circulates and guides public action. It describes the way in which it was formed from its North American and Finnish sources of inspiration, showing the interpenetration of levels of public action, the role of international promotion networks and the mutual reinforcement of diffusion processes. In Europe, the doctrine is evolving from a approach targeting situations deemed to be the most complex, to a global and transformative approach to ending homelessness. Its diffusion is part of a movement to protest the different forms of institutional control which permeate the entire social and medico-social offer. The second part of the thesis focuses on the approach adopted in the Lyon metropolitan area. It analyzes the socio-institutional context that led to a local political decision in favor of Housing First, as well as the changes made to the initial ambition. The difficulties of implementation lead to hybridizations between accommodation and housing which transform the initial proposal. Far from leading to the withdrawal of accommodation, Housing First is leading to a renewal of its contours and forms. The process of institutional innovation continues under the banner of a policy of hospitality to overcome the limits of an overly restrictive acceptance of housing and the right to inhabitThe third part of the thesis deals with the learning and changes that result from these explorations. Through two experiments, it shows the cooperation between institutions necessary to make independent living possible, in ordinary housing or in alternative forms of housing, not under the responsibility of a single institution but with the support of several between them. It also highlights the limits of supplementary public action, which is not enough to compensate in the long term for institutions that are failing due to a lack of resources

Full textThe object of this thesis is to analyse the evolution of the specific housing supply in the conglomeration of Lyon and to look for appreciation elements of the current supply system directed to low income households. In the first time, the historical analysis of specific housing shows that the various forms of production (from post-war to the 1990's) have been formulated to respond temporarly the demand coming from low income population, waiting for public real estate policies allowing this population to have access to standard housing. The analysis of this specific production shows however that the temporary housing did not play its role of transit. In addition, the instrumentalisation of tools and the domination of local actors interests' over the defined modalities had made this type of housing a means of regulation and management of the targeted population in the urban area. In the second time and on the basis of this inventory, the analysis of the adapted housing which constitutes since the Besson's law (1990) shows the continuation of the previous policy. However the practices have been renewed with particularly the appearance of new actors and the integration of operational and social welfare competences. The local actors' system set up for the implementation of this policy has been obliged to undergo some compromises. The resulted housing seems, beyond its quantitative shortcoming with regard to fixed objectives, to respond more to the patrimonial strategies of the operators to the detriment of principles and beneficiaries

Full textThe French area is organised in such a way that a great number of territorial divisions are available for the use of community political and administrative powers : the competences territories or power territories. To apprehend the demo-economic graduations and trends, the French area is also divided in statistical territories named information territories or knowledge territories set up by the INSEE. But economic activities do not care much about these territories and develop where they find benefits. Therefore, these several territorial divisions are not (no longer) adapted to the observation and study of planning issues such as, for example, people mobility or corporate real estate. The planning researcher and the consultant are increasingly confronted to the difficulty of territory adaptability to the issue to analyse. This professional thesis brings them and those interested in the issue of geometrical and temporality changing territories (Community, Business, economic development and town planning companies, etc. ) a methodological answer – a decision helping tool – allowing them to determine a valuable territory adapted to every topic. With this methodological contribution and the study of the observation and planning territories set up by the community to handle this difficulty, this thesis exposes the determinant part played by the private business in the process of the lyonnaise metropolis

Full textLa méthode est déclinée sur l'agglomération lyonnaise. Nous montrons, tout d'abord, l'existence entre les individus et entre les quartiers d'inégalité de chances d'accès au panier de biens en 1999. Ces inégalités procèdent principalement d'un inégal accès à l'automobile (trois fois plus performante que les transports collectifs en termes de temps d'accès au panier de biens), mais aussi de la répartition hétérogène des activités et de la qualité de l'offre en transports collectifs. L'évolution de la localisation des activités entre 1990 et 1999 met en évidence une aggravation des inégalités d'accès entre les quartiers pauvres et les quartiers riches. Tout se passe comme si les populations aisées façonnaient la division fonctionnelle du sol et la localisation des activités, au détriment des populations les plus fragiles. Nous montrons enfin qu'une amélioration forte de l'offre en transports collectifs a des impacts limités qui souvent peinent à compenser les pertes d'accessibilité dues à l'évolution de la localisation des activités.

Full textThe main purpose of this work is to examine the process of the development of urban environmental public action in the city of Aguascalientes in Mexico and the urban agglomeration of Lyon in France during a twelve-year period (1990-2003). We explain the public policy analysis and the main characteristics in the development of urban environmental public policy in both cities. We also emphasize discussions of the different perspectives of the urban context, for example the urban governance approach and the urban regime approach. We explain how this concept helps us to understand new trends in public policy analysis. Using the case study method, we conduct an evaluation of these cities' urban environment public policy. We “reconstruct” this policy by tracking different sources of information and replicating the public policy process under different dynamics. We focus on the different trends in which actors and organisations implement urban environment policies. Most evidence shows that both governments have refocused their policies by adopting supranational methods of policy process or by repositioning environmental issues as the main focus in the management of the cities through the use of urban planning approaches. We also observed that in both cities there are many coincidences in the outcomes of the policies, particularly in the quest to become global cities by introducing innovations in the treatment of the urban environment. Our main conclusions are based on the new trends in the construction of urban policies in both cities as evident in the adoption of a global vision that can be detected in the policy design. An additional conclusion addresses the advanced processes by which problem resolution and advocacy coalitions are developed in these cities

Full textLes Trente Glorieuses correspondent à une période de forte croissance économique, durant laquelle l'Etat central organise la régulation économique sur le territoire national et met en place les leviers financiers, opérationnels et spatiaux nécessaires à son organisation. Cette politique économique étatique s'inscrit dans le cadre du Plan et repose sur le principe de l'économie dirigée, consacrant la prise en charge du portage de l'intérêt des entreprises par les pouvoirs publics centraux au nom de l'intérêt général. Elle accorde une place importante au volet spatial de l'intervention publique, notamment à travers l'aménagement du territoire et l'urbanisme. Elle est déclinée dans l'agglomération lyonnaise de façon relativement autoritaire par la technocratie étatique, qui met en œuvre les objectifs industriels et tertiaires de développement économique des grands groupes nationaux par le biais de la politique des métropoles d'équilibre. Le rôle traditionnel des organismes patronaux et des acteurs économiques locaux dans la conduite de la régulation économique territoriale est passablement remis en question et éclipsé par l'attitude hégémonique des services de l'Etat. La création de la Communauté urbaine de Lyon et de ses bras exécutants opérationnels (Atelier d'urbanisme, Société d'économie mixte d'aménagement) renforce d'autant plus la mainmise étatique sur l'expertise et la conduite politique en matière d'intervention économique.
Avec la pérennisation de la crise économique à partir de 1975, l'Etat se décharge progressivement de la responsabilité de la politique économique sur le niveau local. Son action a toutefois permis de moderniser et de développer la base économique lyonnaise, grâce à l'aménagement de vastes zones industrielles dans les communes de banlieue et au lancement d'un important programme d'immobilier de bureaux autour du centre directionnel de la Part Dieu à Lyon. Le relatif échec de l'intervention centrale sur le territoire local, destinée à promouvoir les intérêts des grands groupes industriels et tertiaires nationaux, favorise cependant la réémergence des acteurs économiques et des structures patronales dans la gestion économique de l'agglomération lyonnaise, aux côtés des autorités publiques communautaires. Ceux-ci se chargent notamment de reprendre en main la défense de l'intérêt des entreprises, en introduisant la culture managériale et stratégique dans la conduite de la régulation économique territoriale.
Ce processus de territorialisation de l'action économique est confirmé et renforcé par la Décentralisation depuis les années 1980. La période récente est ainsi marquée par la montée en puissance politique et institutionnelle des pouvoirs publics locaux dans la gestion économique de l'agglomération lyonnaise. Celle-ci résulte d'une mutation profonde du cadre référentiel qui guide l'organisation de la régulation économique à l'échelle des territoires. La concurrence et la compétitivité économique se déplacent en effet de l'échelle nationale au niveau des territoires locaux, parallèlement à l'affirmation de la mondialisation économique. Elles deviennent les valeurs centrales dans la définition des nouvelles politiques urbaines. Cette évolution majeure du contexte d'ensemble se traduit par l'appropriation politique de l'impératif économique par les autorités lyonnaises, qui en font l'enjeu dominant de la politique de développement territoriale de la métropole. Les importantes évolutions de l'organigramme du Grand Lyon reflètent également le développement de la compétence économique au sein des services techniques communautaires et la volonté politique d'affirmer le rôle des pouvoirs publics locaux en matière de régulation économique territoriale.
Le management stratégique et la démarche de projet sont érigés en modalités privilégiées de la conception comme de la mise en œuvre de la politique économique locale. Appliquées à la planification territoriale, à l'urbanisme et à l'aménagement de l'espace, ils permettent une instrumentalisation renforcée de ces champs d'action publique au service de l'impératif de développement économique. Ils favorisent plus globalement une logique d'intégration fonctionnelle des politiques urbaines locales à des fins de compétitivité économique du territoire. La recherche de transversalité et de mise en cohérence des volets urbain et économique de l'intervention de la collectivité bute cependant sur les tentations d'intervention trop stratégiques et spécialisées des services économiques communautaires, qui souffrent d'une relative inadéquation entre leurs ambitions d'action sur les filières économiques ou le volet technologique, et leurs réelles capacité d'expertise ou d'action sur le territoire local.
Sur un plan plus politique, l'émergence du Grand Lyon au centre du système d'acteurs local de la régulation économique contraint les organismes à vocation économique à reconsidérer leur positionnement dans la défense et la promotion de l'intérêt des entreprises par le biais de l'action publique territoriale. La gouvernance économique lyonnaise est en effet dominée par les autorités communautaires, qui tendent à tisser des liens plus nombreux et directs avec le monde des entreprises, et à prendre en charge de façon plus ou moins explicite et légitime l'intérêt économique des acteurs privés.
Pour chacune des deux grandes périodes – 1950-1980 et 1980-2005 –, la démonstration combine donc trois angles d'analyse : le fonctionnement de l'économie les référentiels qui guident l'action publique ; les modalités techniques et opérationnelles de mise en œuvre de la politique économique ; l'organisation politique et institutionnelle du système d'acteurs et le mode de gouvernement de la régulation. Une attention particulière est en outre portée aux relations entre les sphères politique et économique, ainsi qu'au rôle du niveau local par rapport à celui de l'Etat central. L'objectif de ce travail est de mettre en évidence la prise de leadership politique du Grand Lyon au sein du système d'acteurs local en matière de régulation économique territoriale. L'intégration du portage de l'intérêt des entreprises par les pouvoirs publics locaux se réalise au détriment du rôle historique des acteurs économiques et au risque de la représentation démocratique. Elle interroge les limites de l'engagement de l'intérêt général local dans le jeu de la concurrence économique et de la course à l'attractivité selon la nouvelle logique libérale.

Full textThe PhD dissertation aims to study a fragment of the mobilizations led by people with a North African origin. More specifically, it relates to Zaâma d’Banlieue and the Jeunes Arabes de Lyon et Banlieue (1979-1998). It relies on one observation: the formation of a specific space articulated around a category, the individuals with North African background; a network of individuals and organisations; an issue, the enunciation of the group experience; some relevant themes of mobilization and rhetoric registers which enhances the autonomy and the loyalty to the “hidden text”. It assessment extends an approach in terms of “space of social movements”. Based on a socio-historical approach and a qualitative research (interviews, archives, press), the study combines a socio-history of the migration with the sociology of social movements. It aims to enrich the analysis of concrete operations of mobilization by attention to social, historical and political configurations in which it takes place. It offers a suitable device to take into account the predominance of affinitive ties within the internal economy of theses organisations, their blurred boundaries and the multiposition of theses members by paying attention to the flows

Full textUrban policies have to conciliate the paradoxical stakes that are access to mobility for everyone on one hand and personal car use reduction on the other hand. Considering the pluralisation of urban policies, this issue is not only a matter of coherence but also of coordination that subsumes the coordination of land-use planning and transport.This study examines how urban policies conciliate access to mobility and sustainable mobility. It analyzes how urban policies take into account access to mobility inequalities in the Greater Lyon. Innovative mobility services (access to work initiatives and Inter-Companies Commuter Plans) are compared with transport policies.The unprecedented focus on social issues results of the shift from a right to transport to a targeted right to transport and the joint emergence of rights to mobility. But, since they are competing when political and financial choices are arbitrated, conciliating these potentially contradictory issues is difficult at the local urban scale. Social issues are taken into account with delay or limited or forgotten with the Greater Lyon’ strategies being concentrated on economic competitiveness and sustainable development exemplarity

Full textAnalyzing open data policies, this thesis investigates the effect of the circulation of data on urban government. This political sociology of data, which analyses jointly the transformation of data and actors associated to them, highlights the pluralism of the politics of urban data. Based on an ethnographic investigation inside the Metropolis of Lyon, the thesis studies the open data policy in the making. In addition, 70 interviews, archive material and a partial comparison with North-American cities were used for the analyze. Following the chain of open data, the thesis emphasizes a tension between attachment and detachment. Attached to vast socio-technical networks, data must be detached from their initial environment to circulate, before being re-attached to new users. In order to do this, data undergo a series of trials. The uncertain outcome of these trials produce new agencements which question sectorial, institutional and territorial borders. That’s why, to maintain control on its public policies, the challenge for a local government is to manage to regulate the flows of data on its territory. Data thus become an issue that must be governed

Full textThis thesis concerns the development of tourism and art practices in the metropolitan outskirts, in particular in the social housing projects (1950-1970). The central question addressed is : how can tourism and art be a factor of promotion of districts stigmatized by media and political discourse ? Are the studied practices pioneering ? To answer these questions, we selected three fieldworks: the northern suburbs of Marseille, the Northern and South-Eastern suburbs of Paris and a Canadian public housing project, the Habitations Jeanne-Mance in Montréal. Our qualitative study explains that the development of tourism and art practices in the edge of the metropolis questions the production of knowledge on stigmatized areas. Therefore, they involve political, aesthetic and economic issues
Bihay, Thomas. "De l'idéologie des industries créatives aux politiques de reconfiguration territorialisées : le cas du territoire métropolitain lyonnais." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE2029/document.
Full textThis research focuses on how creative industries, apprehended as ideology and scientifically constructed theory, deploy in a non-linear way from the international to the local through the discourses and practices of heterogeneous actors (political, industrial, cultural ...) to their operationalization as part of local territory policies of reconfiguration. These refer to policies aiming at transforming the territory image. This work focuses on the metropolitan area of Lyon, which is emblematic of several processes taking place for forty years (globalization, development of ICT, decentralization...) and reconfigurationpolicies conducted in other territories (Berlin, Reims, Lille...). The analysis deploys in three steps.First, we analyse how the creative industries are defined and promoted through institutional discourses (Unesco, DCMS, Creative France...). Three types of discourses are distinguished: those with explicit entrepreneurial goals; those addressing the creative industries as ensemble of sectors related to cultural industries, to which are added few others placing "creativity" at the heart of their activities; finally, the discourses that apprehend creative industries as the central pillar of territorial development. Nonetheless, these types of institutional discourses have in common to resonate with those of the promoters of the New Sprit of Capitalism.Then, we pay particular attention to discourses and practices of professionals of the territorial reconfiguration, namely those of the public and territorial communication to which are added those of the territorial marketing. These professionals are intermediaries who contribute to the diffusion of the creative industries by promoting assumptions, practices and arrangements resonating with those disseminated in institutional discourses. If a lexicon, notions and methods from management sciencessupplant references to creativity and territorial policies focusing on innovation and creativity, a gap between their discourses and their actual practices exists.Finally, we are interested in the way in which the creative industries are reinvested in the territorial reconfiguration policies of the metropolitan area of Lyon in order to create and disseminate a creative image. The reflection is articulated here on the way in which these policies are related to a triple territorial reconfiguration (tangible, reticular and symbolic). In particular, we are interested in the operationalization of major artistic and cultural events, spatial planning projects and stakeholder networks taking place on the territory aiming generating creative image. The practices and arrangements realized on the territory are in continuity or resonate with those prescribed in the institutional discourses and those of the professionals of the territorial reconfiguration.In the end, we show how the ideology of the creative industries deploys through discourses and practices of heterogeneous actors that resonate and, as a result, contribute to reinforce this ideology. Our study pays attention to circulations, which are not only downward or prescriptive but are also re-appropriations and interpretations of the creative industries by those actors. The logics of the actors studied are stressed, while showing how their discourses and practices are in interaction
Baraklianos, Ioannis. "The accessibility in Land-Use Transport Interaction models : four essays on location choice models." Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSE2037/document.
Full textThis PhD thesis has as objective to examine the place and the importance of accessibility in location choice models of households and firms, two key construction elements of Land-Use Transport Interaction models. More specifically, the aim is to analyse the effect of various methodological choices from a theoretical and empirical point of view in order to give some answers to theoretical, methodological, empirical and policy issues. Having as a case study the urban area of Lyon and using discrete models to explain the location choices of households and firms, four research papers comprise the main work of this dissertation.In the first paper, the objective was to analyse the effect of the accessibility measure on the results of residential location choice model. While accessibility has always been important at theoretical level, at empirical level, some works questioned its importance, considering other location characteristics as more influential. This paper examines whether different accessibility measurement methods can lead to divergent results. The conclusion is that accessibility is an indispensable variable for residential location choice models and the conclusion remains the same whatever is the measure. Without accessibility, the model gives inconsistent results. Complex accessibility measures give better results, especially for predictions, but simple measures are also relevant for residential location choices modelling.In the second paper, the objective was to analyse the differences of accessibility preferences between new and relocating firms. Accessibility is one of the most important attributes of a location choice of an economic establishment. However, even if it seems intuitive, works analysing any differences between creations and relocations are scarce. Using data from eighteconomic sectors and comparing creations to relocations, the results demonstrate that the effect of accessibility differs between in the same economic sector.In the third paper, the objective was to evaluate the difference of the accessibility impact on the location choices of firms of the business services sector. Distinguishing between Front Office and Back Office business services in a location choice model, the results demonstrate that the effect of accessibility differs between economic subsectors.In the fourth paper, the objective was to analyse the temporal evolution of the preferences for accessibility for residential choices. More and more people choose to buy a residence at the suburbs taking advantage of the accessibility increase. At the same time, young households, the so called millennials, choose to rent in central areas. Distinguishing between renters andowners, the analysis of the elasticities for 1999, 2006 and 2013 confirm the initial intuition. Renters were always more sensitive to accessibility to employment. More importantly, renters show an increasing preference for accessibility during the analysis period, while the owners the opposite. We suggest that planners and model developers should integrate temporal dynamics into their models in order to anticipate better future tendencies
