L’aménagement temporel territorial : repenser les territoires en conjuguant espace et rythmes
Abstract
This article proposes to carry out a critical reading of the innovative policies which find their origins in the weakening of the rhythms fordists of the industrial societies by the advent of a services company. New forms of public action, called “temporal policies”, born in Italy in the years 1990, consider that the territorial inequalities do not come solely from dynamic space, social or economic evil distributed, but which they are due also to differences in “rhythms”. These policies thus concentrate their actions on an often ignored dimension of the territorial development to the profit of space: time. We propose to recall the genesis, the challenges and the challenges of these policies, through experiments carried out by French and European communities. We will insist on the participative character and the alternative potential of these policies who seek, vis-a-vis a city planning considered to be rigid, to build a more fluid city.
