Fermeture résidentielle et politiques urbaines, le cas marseillais

Abstract

Residential closing in Marseille is characterized by its intensity (almost 20% of total housing in the municipality) and its very strong spatial extent in some areas (more than 40% of the urbanized area). After a research of three years and a report submitted to the PUCA in 2010 (“The distribution of residential closed in Marseille. The urbanities of a fragmented city»), this article proposes to enrich the reading of the complex processes of residential segregation by focusing on the one hand the effects of geo-historical contexts, particularly in land inheritance (long time production of urban spaces) and in the other hand the synergies existing between a municipal action-oriented territorial attractiveness and speculative real estate offer.
