This article aims to explain how innovations in urban governance contribute to economic resilience of post-socialist regional metropoles, by retracing the path development process of the local governance systems in two Romanian cities - Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca. Firstly, the paper brings analytical cross-fertilization between urban governance stud...

Citation: Hamdouch, A., & Carrière, J.-P. (2022). Métropoles-espaces ruraux, des réciprocités sont-elles possibles ? Éclairages à partir du cas de la région Centre-Val de Loire en France. Résumé Jusqu'à très récemment, les espaces de faible densité (en particulier ruraux) ont été considérés comme secondaires, au mieux comme réservoirs de ressources...

L’hypothèse centrale du présent article est que la résilience dynamique des territoires postsocialistes repose avant tout sur la temporalité et le contenu des stratégies déployées par les acteurs locaux. Sur la base de trois études de cas extensives réalisées au plan longitudinal, l’article reconstitue les trajectoires de restructuration économique...

Parmi les travaux sur la gentrification, relativement peu d' études abordent le cas de ceux qui réussissent à rester dans leur quartier, même si ces résidents en subissent les effets tout autant. Dans cet article, nous étudions les réactions ci-toyennes à la gentrification à partir du cadre Exit, Voice, Loyalty de Hirschman (1970) selon qui le coup...

La ville transforme la nature, certes, mais la nature transforme-t-elle la ville ? À l'heure de la diffusion des enjeux liés à la nature en général, cet ouvrage répond à en analysant de nouvelles formes de nature en ville : les trames vertes urbaines, les espaces agricoles urbains et leurs antonymes, les friches urbaines. Au-delà du consensus de fa...

Nature et ville : un paradoxe ou bien une convergence désormais banale ? À travers des réflexions historiques et des études locales, cet ouvrage nous plonge dans la nature des villes françaises, brésiliennes, portugaises. Espaces verts résidentiels, espaces verts publics, traversées urbaines des cours d'eau et espaces agricoles aux marges de la vil...

En raison de la prégnance de l’urbain sur les espaces naturels, agricoles et semi-ruraux, les relations entre nature et ville constituent un des axes majeurs des questionnements contemporains sur le développement territorial durable et sur les modalités de la mise en oeuvre de ses principes au sein des territoires. Le défi conjoint des responsables...

This article assesses the role of social innovation (SI) as a driver of urban transformation through the case-based analysis of an ambitious social housing urban project in the Dominican Republic, specifically in the emblematic slum La Barquita, in the heart of northern Santo Domingo. This project was led by a dedicated public body, URBE, which is...

This issue discusses the concept of social innovation (SI) as a potentially transformative factor in urban planning and local development. SI represents an alternative to economic and technology-oriented approaches to urban development, such as that of 'smart cities', 'creative cities', etc. This is thanks to the emphasis SI puts on human agency an...

This paper is part of the research on functional roles of European towns conducted by a group of researchers gathered around the ESPON project 'TOWN'. Building on the systematic analysis of the socioeconomic dynamics of 31 European small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs), we identified three profiles of their local economies. The first profile is defi...

Despite that small and medium-sized towns (SMSTs) have been, and continue to be, a central part of the history of Europe, these places have largely been neglected by urban research. The ESPON TOWN project, on which this Special Issue builds, sought to redress this neglect performing a comparative analysis of their position and role across Europe. I...

Alors qu’elle avait été relativement délaissée dans les années 1980, la thématique foncière fait l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales. Si les recherches récentes sont marquées par les préoccupations de préservation de l’espace agricole, et focalisent l’attention sur les espaces périurbains, traiter de foncie...

Le développement territorial durable (DTD) est devenu aujourd'hui un référentiel incontournable de l'action, malgré l'imprécision conceptuelle qui entache encore souvent l'usage de ce terme. A partir de regards multiples et d'approches soit générales et théoriques, soit plus appliquées relatives à des terrains d'observation variés relevant de conte...

Les technologies vertes constituent aujourd’hui un secteur en plein essor. Cependant, leur déploiement est confronté à de multiples obstacles. Dans ce contexte, les politiques publiques et la capacité des acteurs à faire émerger et à structurer des écosystèmes « verts » sont cruciales. Après une caractérisation générale de ce que recouvre le busine...

La ville durable renvoie à une notion encore peu stabilisée, et dont les modalités de la « fabrique » restent inexplorées. Cet ouvrage se focalise sur l’analyse des dynamiques, des processus et des jeux d’acteurs qui contribuent à faire évoluer les modèles urbains existants. Il montre que l’innovation technologique, organisationnelle, institutionne...

Cet article se focalise sur l’analyse de l’effet que les politiques locales de cohésion sociale peuvent avoir sur le développement socioéconomique des villes petites et moyennes (VPM). L’étude montre que les politiques locales peuvent avoir un effet direct ou indirect (en termes d’activité, d’emploi, de qualité de vie, etc.), ou transversal (en ter...

For a long time, innovation has been considered as a complementary or marginal parameter of the spatial systems. Since, innovation gradually became a fundamental structuring element, reporting by its cycles of the processes of territorialisation, of dynamics and decline of spaces and territories. Research is from now on in position to reconsider th...

The contributors provide an overview of theoretical perspectives, methodologies and instructive experiences from all continents, as well as implications for collective action and policy. They argue strongly for social innovation as a key to human development. The Handbook defines social innovation as innovation in social relations within both micro...

La notion de résilience territoriale est relativement récente. Ses contours et fondements analytiques sont encore assez largement en construction. Cependant, comme cela est montré dans l'ouvrage "Mondialisation et résilience des territoires - Trajectoires, dynamiques d'acteurs et expériences", coordonné par A. Hamdouch, M.-H. Depret et C. Tanguy (C...

Following the rise of climate and environmental challenges during the last decade or so, the growing awareness among various actors of sustainability issues at the local and global levels has resulted in a change in public policies as in industrial and financial strategic moves. This change has been rapidly translated into substantial investments b...

The aim of the paper is observe the growing role of culture within the local socio-economic development, with a special look in small and medium-sized towns in Europe. The first part of the paper presents evolution of instrumental and intrinsic approaches to the conceptualization of culture-relating notions. Both approaches are complementary and ne...

Depuis la periode de l’Apres-guerre, les concepts de croissance et de developpement ont ete progressivement dissocies. Avec l’apport du developpement durable, un concept apparu en 1980 et promu a la suite de la publication de rapport Brundtland de 1987, les elements constitutifs du developpement ont ete precises dans leurs composantes economiques,...

La mondialisation, par le perpétuel mouvement qu'elle déploie, fait basculer de nombreux territoires dans un équilibre instable. Face à cette déferlante, des pays, des régions, des villes, des zones rurales voient leurs valeurs et leur identité s'éroder et leurs sources internes de développement économique, social, politique et culturel brutalement...

Innovation policies, regional space and territorial dynamics. A tentative framing in the French context In recent years, many countries have engaged in decentralisation/regionalisation policies of their administrative and political structures as well as their economic and social actions. This evolution tends to redefine the space and the modes of i...

Les problematiques liees au developpement durable (DD) recouvrent des specificites et des enjeux differencies selon la nature, l’echelle et les caracteristiques structurelles des territoires concernes. Territoires urbains versus territoires ruraux ou « rurbains », echelle nationale versus echelle regionale ou locale, territoires fragiles ou menaces...

Despite its real difficulty to disseminate and profoundly change the dominant economic regulations, sustainable development has given rise to significant new practices both public and private. In this overview article, which also introduces this thematic issue of the journal, we focus on two major modes of the embedding of these practices: territor...

The aim of this introductory paper is to put into perspective some key methodological and practical issues raised by the analysis and implementation of Sustainable Development (SD) approaches in recent years. The key point made here is that, while SD analysis has gained in depth and methodological improvement, implementation issues remain problemat...

In several countries, the remarkable development of the 'green economy' in recent years has gone hand in hand with the implementation of strategies of integration (more or less rapid and thorough) of public policies linked to the environment. This policy integration strategy is generally a necessary condition for the encouragement and viable develo...

In recent years, many countries have engaged in decentralisation/regionalisation policies of their administrative and political structures as well as their economic and social actions. This evolution tends to redefine the space and the modes of interaction among the institutions in charge of innovation, and therefore tends to create an overlapping...

Based on the case of the biopharmaceutical industry, the aim of this paper is to challenge the core conviction now widespread within the “spatial clustering theory”, which devotes a key (if not exclusive) role to geographical proximity in explaining clustering dynamics of innovation activities within spe-cific territories. Our argument is threefold...

Abstract: The academic interest in innovation clusters and networks has given rise to a vast stream of works in recent years. Besides defining the notions of clusters and innovation clusters or networks, a core topic within the literature relates to the analysis of the logics underlying the emergence, the structuring and the evolution of innovative...

Pour rendre compte des phénomènes de réticularisation et d’agglomération croissantes des activités d’innovation, de nombreux travaux empiriques et théoriques dans diverses disciplines (économie, sociologie, géographie, management) ont souligné l’importance des logiques de proximité (géographique, organisationnelle, cognitive). C’est dans ce cadre q...

A very important stream of theoretical and empirical research has marked the literature on Territorial Innovation Systems (TIS) over the last twenty years. One key achievement of this research effort is the emphasis put on the structuring role of territorial dynamics in the deployment and spatial organisation of industries and innovation activities...

There has been in recent years a remarkable development of the literature on High-Tech clusters. This research effort has convincingly emphasised the specificity of High-Tech sectors (especially in Information and Communication Technologies and in Life Sciences) and of the spatial and reticular dimensions underlying their innovation dynamics. Despi...

This paper focuses on the clustering dynamics based on/supported by R&D offshoring trends as exemplified by the biopharmaceutical sector in China. It suggests two baselines of the institutional arrangements appropriate to initiate innovation-based clusters: (1) emphasis on the linkages and expansion in global innovation networking, and (2) focus on...

La littérature sur les clusters High-Tech a connu un développement remarquable au cours des années récentes. Elle a permis de souligner la spécificité des secteurs High-Tech (notamment les technologies de l’information et de la communication et les sciences de la vie) et des logiques spatiales et réticulaires d’organisation des dynamiques d’innovat...

Regions tend to become the relevant space for the analysis of public funding of innovation, as emphasised by numerous recent works. However, it is still to be demonstrated that the regional level is really the right spatial scaling for implementing innovation public policies. The aim of this paper is to provide a series of analytical and empirical...

The objective of this first survey paper is to improve the theory of innovation systems from the perspective of the ‘Knowledge Infrastructure' with its wealth of public and private agents, including research and technology organizations, universities and consultancies. It is argued that analysing these institutions as part of the knowledge infrastr...

Building on the main results from the TSER reports reviewed in the VALICORES project, this survey article focuses on the Knowledge Infrastructure (KI) and on the institutional-spatial dynamics that characterize innovation and knowledge creation/accumulation/diffusion processes within the developing knowledge-based economy and society. Its aim is th...

Si le rôle des dispositifs institutionnels dans la réalisation de la coordination économique est aujourd'hui reconnu par l'essentiel des courants de la pensée économique, l'articulation théorique entre la problématique de la coordination et les dimensions institutionnelles qu'elle recouvre reste souvent partielle ou superficielle. L'hypothèse explo...
