La ville est aujourd'hui a la fois territoire et unite de vie collective, milieu et enjeu, cadre physique et noeud de relations entre les etres sociaux. Ce livre montre comment les concepts et les methodes de la sociologie peuvent etre mobilises pour l'etude de la vie urbaine.Cette derniere est saisie dans les tensions qui la traversent: tensions entre distance et proximite, entre localisation et mobilite, entre diversite et integration, entre lignes de force qui commandent le devenir des villes et la gestion collective.Comment s'organisent de nos jours les coexistences en milieu urbain et la mise en coherence des actions publiques ? A l'heure ou les ancrages territoriaux des citadins se diversifient et ou les espaces sociaux se fragmentent, dans quelle mesure la ville fait-elle encore societe ? Cette 4e edition actualisee apporte toutes les reponses necessaires.

Quel avenir pour l'agriculture périurbaine ? À travers l'exemple d'Aubagne et de sa plaine de Beaudinard, l'objectif de l'ouvrage est de découvrir si les trois acteurs locaux principaux ? les producteurs (les agriculteurs), les institutions politiques (la commune et la communauté de communes) et les « usagers » (les habitants) ? en créant une base de solidarité multipolaire, sont capables d'inscrire l'agriculture périurbaine dans la durée et permettre la poursuite de la constitution du territoire périurbain avec la composante agricole. A-t-elle été impulsée par les agriculteurs ou a-t-elle été imposée contre leur gré ? Peut-elle être aujourd'hui relayée par les habitants, par la pensée et/ou par les actes ?

With cities becoming so vast, so entangled, and perhaps so critically unsustainable, there is an urgent need for clarity around the subject of how we feed ourselves as an urban species. Urban food mapping becomes the tool to investigate the spatial relationships, gaps, scales and systems that underlie and generate what, where and how we eat, highlighting current and potential ways to (re)connect with our diet, ourselves and our environments. Richly explored, using over 200 mapping images in 25 selected essays, this book identifies urban food mapping as a distinct activity and area of research that enables a more nuanced way of understanding the multiple issues facing contemporary urbanism and the manyfold roles food spaces play within it. The authors of this multidisciplinary volume extend their approaches to place making, storytelling, in-depth observation and imagining liveable futures and engagement around food systems, thereby providing a comprehensive picture of our daily food flows and intrastructures. Their images and essays combine theoretical, methodological and practical analysis and applications to examine food through innovative map-making that empowers communities and inspires food planning authorities. This first book to systematise urban food mapping showcases and bridges disciplinary boundaries to make theoretical concepts as well as practical experiences and issues accessible and attractive to a wide audience, from the activist to the academic, the professional and the amateur. It will be of interest to those involved in the all-important work around food cultures, food security, urban agriculture, land rights, environmental planning and design who wish to create a more beautiful, equitable and sustainable urban environment.
