International audience The past several decades, segregation has been widely discussed by social scientists and especially by geographers. But whatever the focus of their studies (on the problem of measuring segregation, on the mechanism explaining the development of the phenomenon, etc.), almost all of them considered segregation as a spatial injustice. This paper closely examines this implicit relationship between segregation and injustice by reviewing the existing literature from different fields (geography, sociology, history, urban studies, political science, philosophy, etc.): is the segregated city unjust by essence? Is any social-spatial division of space – of urban space in particular – unjust? If not, when is it to be considered unjust? Conversely, is the diverse city the model of a just city? All these questions imply to carefully question the underlying assumptions that most of contemporary discourses make when dealing with segregation. ; Depuis plusieurs décennies, la ségrégation est un thème abondamment investi par les sciences sociales en général et par la géographie en particulier. Or quelles que soient les orientations adoptées (portant sur la question de la mesure du phénomène, ou celle des mécanismes, etc.), presque toutes ces recherches assimilent la ségrégation à une injustice spatiale. C'est cette implicite corrélation ségrégation/injustice que cet article examinera de plus près, à travers une revue de la littérature de différents champs disciplinaires (géographie, sociologie, histoire, urbanisme, sciences politiques, philosophie) : la ville ségrégée est-elle injuste par essence ? Toute division socio spatiale de l'espace – urbain en particulier – est-elle injuste ? Sinon, quand doit-elle être considérée comme injuste ? Et inversement, la ville mixte est-elle le modèle de la ville juste, vers lequel on doit tendre ? Autant de questions qui invitent à réinterroger les présupposés sur lesquels reposent de nombreux discours sur la ségrégation aujourd'hui.

Segregation has been widely discussed by social scientists and especially by urban geographers and planners over the past decades. However, regardless of their focus, most of these studies view segregation as an obvious case of spatial injustice. I argue that this implicit relationship between segregation, (in)justice, and space needs to be reexamined. This paper approaches this task by reviewing an interdisciplinary body of literature (including geography, sociology, history, political sciences, and philosophy) that deals with segregation without (explicitly) tackling the issue of justice. Focusing on the case of poor, segregated neighborhoods in France, this paper examines the question of whether the segregated city is essentially unjust, analyzes the extent to which segregation is a spatial injustice, and identifies segregation's underlying (spatial) causes. It will then question the dominant contemporary discourse that holds that the Just City should be a diverse city at the neighborhood scale.

, due to fear of violence, have seen a profound transformation of their urban landscapes in large metropolitan cities, particularly Latin America. New urban forms such as fenced condominiums, repellent architectures and surveillance cameras have emerged to meet an increasingly pressing demand for security. Without any prior reflection, cities such as Camp-SP in Brazil have opted for video surveillance policies and for the construction of spatial forms that stimulate segregation and hinder individual freedoms. But while this movement has provided some certainty for some, it has also promoted the militarisation and privatisation of public space, leading to injustices and even more insecurity. ; International audience ; due to fear of violence, have seen a profound transformation of their urban landscapes in large metropolitan cities, particularly Latin America.

International audience ; Large metropolises, particularly in Latin America, have gone through deep transformations due to fear of violence. New urban forms-such as gated communities, deterrent architecture and security cameras-have answered the increasing demand for security. With no real prior consideration, towns such as Campinas-SP, in Brazil, have opted for a policy of video surveillance and the construction of buildings which incite segregation and stifle individual freedoms. But if this movement has led to increased security for some, it has also encouraged the militarization and privatization of public space, leading to injustices and even further insecurity to others.

AbstractThis article explores the potential for a more ordinary sense of urban environmental justice. While great progress has been made over the last 30 years in connecting environmental politics to the everyday concerns of urban residents, this article claims that the urbanization of environmentalism has produced a very narrow sense of what everyday forms of justice may be. Drawing on a Lefebvrian‐inspired interpretation of everyday life, this article exposes a residual set of ordinary socio‐ecological injustices that persist in urban space. While rarely addressed in either environmental politics or urban policy, this article claims that these expressions of ordinary injustice have a significant impact on the capabilities of disadvantaged urban communities to live out a full life. Drawing on the case of the Black Country Urban Forest in the English West Midlands — the largest urban woodland project in the UK — analysis considers how the spatial location and scalar constitution of the project appear to draw attention to the spaces of ordinary environmental neglect in cities. Further analysis shows, however, that the desire to address simultaneously questions of social and ecological injustice, which is typical in such large‐scale urban greening initiatives, can actually compromise the ability of such schemes to resolve ordinary forms of urban injustice.RésuméCet article s'intéresse à la possibilité de donner un sens plus ordinaire à la justice environnementale urbaine. Ces trente dernières années ont vu un progrès énorme dans l'association de la politique environnementale aux préoccupations quotidiennes des habitants des villes. Toutefois, l'urbanisation de l'environnementalisme s'est traduite par un sens très étroit de ce que peuvent être les formes de justice au quotidien. Se basant sur une interprétation de la vie quotidienne inspirée de Lefebvre, l'article expose un ensemble persistant d'injustices socio‐écologiques ordinaires dans l'espace urbain. Rarement traitées en politique environnementale comme en politique publique urbaine, ces expressions de l'injustice ordinaire ont pourtant un impact important sur les capacités des communautés urbaines défavorisées à vivre pleinement. À partir du cas anglais de la Black Country Urban Forest dans les West Midlands (le plus vaste projet de terrain boisé urbain au Royaume‐Uni), l'analyse s'attache à la façon dont la localisation spatiale et le dimensionnement du projet semblent attirer l'attention sur les espaces d'abandon de l'environnement ordinaire au sein des villes. Une analyse plus poussée montre toutefois que la volonté de traiter simultanément des questions d'injustice sociale et écologique, volonté typique de telles initiatives écologiques urbaines à grande échelle, peut en fait compromettre l'aptitude de ces programmes à résoudre les formes ordinaires d'injustice urbaine.

International audience ; This paper examines the way in which women and the local scale are being jointly promoted in development policies, and what this entails politically. Models of participation and citizenship that strive for greater justice may well procude new spatial injustices by confininf women at particular scales and within particular actions. Drawing on research in Subsaharan Africa, the paper delves further into the way « projects » operate in planning and city management. It looks in greater detail at policy-making and how it interfere with different paths to construct local political spaces.
