Ségrégation, communauté et mitoyenneté. Les épreuves de la contiguïté à Caracas

Abstract:

The urban geography of Caracas is largely characterised by the spatial contiguity between rich and poor neighbourhoods. This implies a need for ordinary and institutional management of the different forms of cohabitation and segregation: territorial markers, social norms, indicators of strangerhood and proximity, together with recognition processes. Our study focuses on the process of urbanisation in which living in proximity to serious inequalities puts the concepts of common ownership and the community to the test. Looking at the case of a gated community and the slum that grows up beside it, what processes do the homogenisation of housing (the production of residential space) and of" styles of living"(urban use and practices) have in common?
