Conçues pour répondre à la fois à des objectifs de revitalisation associés au marché et à des objectifs sociaux de déconcentration de la pauvreté et d'inclusion, ces projets de 'gentrification positive' génèrent toutefois en ensemble de tensions élémentaires qui s'exercent concrètement sur le terrain (entre intégration et exclusion, valeur d'usage et valeur d'échange, appropriation et contrôle, pauvreté et développement). S'appuyant sur la théorie de la régulation sociale et sur le cadre du 'droit à la ville' d'Henri Lefebvre, l'article revient sur les tensions manifestées dans trois communautés à revenus mixtes de Chicago issues du réaménagement de complexes de logements sociaux. Il s'intéresse notamment aux réactions face aux attentes concurrentes quant à l'utilisation de l'espace et à un comportement normatif approprié, et face à la négociation de ces attentes dans un contexte antagoniste sur la sécurité, sur l'ordre, sur ce qui constitue l'espace 'public' ainsi que sur la nature et la portée des droits d'utilisation de cet espace au quotidien.</italic> </p> </sec> </abstract> … (more)
