The aim of this workshop is to revisit the debates and social science texts on the ways in which cities have been governed since the beginning of the twentieth century. It is based on questions relating to the localised analysis of politics and responds to the need, experienced in our own research, to articulate and hold together three dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Games and rivalries between social groups in urban spaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Political, partisan and institutional battles to govern the city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Urban public policies: genealogy, instruments, actors and spatial effects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Organisational principles<\/strong>. These workshops take the form of work sessions lasting between 2 and 2.5 hours. Two to four texts (articles or chapters) are circulated two weeks before each workshop, combining theoretical, methodological and empirical dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coordination and moderation of the 2025-2026 sessions<\/strong> : <a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/en\/blog\/members\/benit-gbaffou-claire\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:#f2f2f2\" class=\"has-inline-color has-fl-accent-color\">Claire B\u00e9nit-Gbaffou<\/mark><\/a> &amp; Alice Daquin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-fl-topbar-bg-color has-fl-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-47f6e28990de0ffbb1c7b199da263fa5\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/en\/research\/cross-cutting-urban-studies\/reading-workshop-governing-the-city\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:#36a9e1\" class=\"has-inline-color has-fl-topbar-bg-color\">More information on the reading group page<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/h1>","protected":false},"author":343,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[59],"event_type":[3],"event_type_2":[392,395],"class_list":["post-37663","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","hentry","tag-a-la-une","event_location-espace-philippe-seguin","event_type-autres","event_type_2-axe-4","event_type_2-etudes-urbaines"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Axe transversal \u00ab \u00c9tudes urbaines \u00bb &amp; Axe 4 \u2013 Atelier de Lecture \u00ab Gouverner la ville \u00bb.
