Publication - Chantiers de ville. Urban exchange, participation and hybridization

The book Chantiers de ville: exchanges, participation and urban hybridizationedited by Dominique Lefrançois (teacher-researcher at ATE), with the collaboration of Cécile Barbier and Nadya Rouizem, was published by Editions Recherches.

Inhabitant participation is nowadays carried on the banner of a more just and plural city. But it is constantly criticized, both by residents who desert participation bodies, and by urban professionals and researchers. So how can we change or improve the situation? Can we give participation the political dimension it lacks? Can we ensure that everyone is truly involved, including those who may or may not have deliberately set themselves apart from the norm? How can we also imagine a city that the ecological imperative invites us to look or think differently?
(excerpt from the book presentation)

Among the many authors of this book, Antoine Apruzzese, a doctoral student at the ATE laboratory, offers a contribution entitled "Democratie de façade ou construction du politique. La figure de l'architecte participant".

The publication of this book was made possible thanks to the participation of the ATE laboratory, the AHTTEP-UMR AUSSER CNRS laboratory, the French Ministry of Culture and the ANR.
