In this paper, I present the results of two studies carried out in the neighborhood of Balzac, located in Vitry-sur-Seine, in the banlieue of Paris. From 2007, the town was affected by the program, Agence Nationale de Renovation Urbaine (ANRU). I analyze the social and economic context and the role played by social workers of the Centre Social Balzac (CSB) during the plan of urban regeneration. The study of the network of migrant women (and specially the residential path of two sisters)shows that urban program reflects the social and cultural assignments and affects the local social relations of gender and family.
