La rénovation urbaine comme politique de peuplement
Behind the transnational watchword of « mixed neighborhoods », urban renewal policies can be analyzed as instruments used to relocate minorities in the urban space, as they aim at correcting if not erasing the legacy of segregationist social housing policies. In the United States as in France, official documents set color-blind goals when describing the expected mixing of residents. The analysis of public discourses and interviews with national and local actors reveal however sharp and counter-intuitive contrasts in the way categories of class and race are mobilized. Two argumentative registers are recognizable: one of social and economic nature in the United States, one of political and ethnic nature in France. The American case illustrates a disjunction between the objectives of income mixing and racial diversity in the context of a strong appropriation of nondiscrimination norms by the actors. In the French context, where minority neighborhoods are lastingly delegitimized, the goal of « social mixing » has not been emancipated from ethno-racial objectives.
