Requalification urbaine et justice environnementale : Quelle compatibilité ? Débats autour de la métamorphose de Lausanne

The model of the dense city has become the favored answer of public policies in Swiss and more generally in European cities regarding the ecological consequences of metropolisation. However, urban renewal – in particular through the construction of « sustainable districts » - tends to induce social...

description	The model of the dense city has become the favored answer of public policies in Swiss and more generally in European cities regarding the ecological consequences of metropolisation. However, urban renewal – in particular through the construction of « sustainable districts » - tends to induce social polarisation, thus revealing a deep contradiction between the social and ecological dimensions of urban development. Social mixity is widely promoted as a solution for reducing segregation and eviction of vulnerable populations by urban renewal projects.
