Dans un contexte de déterritorialisation progressive de la citoyenneté, les villes sont au cœur des luttes socio-politiques en raison des injustices socio-spatiales qui les fragmentent (ghettoïsation, gentrification, morcellement communautaire...). Des groupes citoyens revendiquent de plus en plus leurs droits culturels et politiques, prétendent à une certaine visibilité dans l’espace public et tentent d’investir les villes par leurs modes de vie spécifiques. Le « droit à la ville », qui se nourrit du concept de justice spatiale, amène les citoyens à refuser de se laisser écarter de la réalité urbaine par des logiques discriminatoires, inégalitaires et ségrégatives. Ce renouvellement de l'investissement politique des espaces urbains est au coeur de ce livre. À partir d’exemples recueillis dans des villes du monde entier (en Argentine, Inde, Turquie, Bulgarie, France…), des chercheurs interrogent les obstacles à la citoyenneté, mais aussi l'expression politique relative à cette citoyenneté, notamment à partir des affirmations et revendications identitaires contemporaines. Ils analysent les effets de la montée des identités collectives (ethniques, culturelles, religieuses...) sur la citoyenneté et, plus largement, sur les démocraties dites représentatives. Il s'agit en somme de saisir au plus près du terrain l’émergence en actes de mouvements citoyens inédits soucieux de défendre leurs conceptions de la citoyenneté

In this book, an international team of urban anthropologists, sociologists, and ethnographers argue that politics, intergroup relations, and development in cities cannot be understood without reference to the local contexts that endow each city with specific characteristics. They also show how local urban economic, social, and cultural lives are influenced by powerful external forces. In these 'glocal' regards, the authors demonstrate how city images, borders, and social processes such as migration, tourism, and local development must be seen in broader contexts. The contributors examine them through the lenses of foreign investment, migration, and history. The volume takes an interdisciplinary approach and employs a range of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. Contributors’ multidisciplinary expertise and insights about spaces and places are applied to nine unique cities across three continents.
