Abstract EN:
In the 1960 s and 1970 s grenoble was one of the few zrench towns to have a real political project of urban planning. Under the leader ship of an avant-garde socialist municipality large-scale urban development, such as the construction of the new villeneuve quartier on the outshirts of the town, and the restoration of the old quartiers in the city center was carried out in the interval between the period of economic expansion and recession. This research studies the multiple, dialectical relationships between local government and the forms of urban construction in an effort to define the links between the form of the local government, its project, its underlying ideology and the system that produces the forms and material structures of the city. The urban forms that emerged in grenoble can thus be set in the framework of mainstream trends in contemporary architecture and of new developments in political thinking, in nparticular, the social democratic current representend by the grenoble experiment, according to the author.
Abstract FR:
Grenoble a ete lors des annees 60 et 70 une des rares villes francaises a etre dotee d'un veritable projet urbain. Sous la conduite d'une municipalite socialiste nouvelle maniere. Ont ete realises, lors de cette periode qui va de ka croissance a la crise, des amenagements urbains de grande ampleur tels que la construction du nouveau quartier peripherique de la villeneuve et la rehabilitation des vieux quartiers centraux. La recherche envisage les rapports muliples et dialectiques entre le pouvoir local et les formes urbaines construites, tentant de cerner les liens existant entre la forme du pouvoir, son projet et l'ideologie qui le sous-tend, le systeme de production des formes et les structures materielles de la ville. La production des formes urbaines grenobloises est ainsi replacee parmi les tendances longues de l'architecture contemporaine et l'evolution des idees politiques, en particulier vis-a-vis ducourant de la social-democratie auquel l'auteur rattache l'experience grenobloise.
