Depuis le début des années 1980, l'apparition des quartiers gays a participé à la visibilité croissante de l'homosexualité dans les sociétés occidentales. Mais que sait-on exactement de ces espaces urbains spécifiques ? Comment sont-ils nés ? Qui s'y installe et pourquoi ? Comment les citadins les pratiquent-ils et les vivent-ils au quotidien ? Une enquête sociologique menée à Paris et Montréal permet de dépasser les clichés et les stéréotypes sur des espaces fortement médiatisés, mais finalement peu connus. En revenant sur la naissance de ces espaces, l'enquête montre comment les gays ont participé ici à la gentrification des métropoles par leur nouvelle présence commerciale, résidentielle et symbolique au centre-ville. Elle montre aussi que, loin de constituer des ghettos communautaires, ces quartiers voient cohabiter des trajectoires, des modes de vie et des identités socialement différenciées. La comparaison entre Paris et Montréal révèle enfin des convergences internationales, mais aussi des spécificités locales et nationales : les formes urbaines, les usages concrets et les représentations que suscitent les quartiers gays traduisent des rapports différenciés à la ville et à l'homosexualité selon les sociétés.

Although the last decade has seen steady progress towards wider acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals, LGBTQ residential and commercial areas have come under increasing pressure from gentrification and redevelopment initiatives. As a result many of these neighborhoods are losing their special character as safe havens for sexual and gender minorities. Urban planners and municipal officials have sometimes ignored the transformation of these neighborhoods and at other times been complicit in these changes. Planning and LGBTQ Communities brings together experienced planners, administrators, and researchers in the fields of planning and geography to reflect on the evolution of urban neighborhoods in which LGBTQ populations live, work, and play. The authors examine a variety of LGBTQ residential and commercial areas to highlight policy and planning links to the development of these neighborhoods. Each chapter explores a particular urban context and asks how the field of planning has enabled, facilitated, and/or neglected the specialized and diverse needs of the LGBTQ population.A central theme of this book is that urban planners need to think "beyond queer space" because LGBTQ populations are more diverse and dispersed than the white gay male populations that created many of the most visible gayborhoods. The authors provide practical guidance for cities and citizens seeking to strengthen neighborhoods that have an explicit LGBTQ focus as well as other areas that are LGBTQ-friendly. They also encourage broader awareness of the needs of this marginalized population and the need to establish more formal linkages between municipal government and a range of LGBTQ groups. Planning and LGBTQ Communities also adds useful material for graduate level courses in planning theory, urban and regional theory, planning for multicultural cities, urban geography, and geographies of gender and sexuality. Planning and LGBTQ Communities gives planners concrete, practical guidance to creating inclusive communities for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered individuals, couples and families. Each chapter, written by experienced city planners, administrators, and researchers, examines specific urban contexts and how city planners facilitated or neglected the needs of LGBTQ populations. As the last decade has brought major cultural and legislative victories for LGBTQ people, "gayborhoods" and other LGBTQ residential and commercial areas have changed in character. Planning and LGBTQ Communities examines these changes, the pressures that cause them, and the role that planners and municipal officials have had in the gentrification and redevelopment of these spaces. With case studies from the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa, this book offers planners around the world a way to better accommodate and build for marginalized people.
