Summary:
Montpellier est passée du statut de capitale régionale à celui de technopole jusqu'à s'afficher peu à peu métropole. Concernant les questions d'urbanisme et d'aménagement, cette ville singulière constitue ainsi un riche terrain d'étude pour les chercheurs qui, ici, s'attachent à analyser stratégies et projets urbains. Intégrant le regard de trois disciplines - architecture, géographie, science politique - ils appréhendent des dimensions complémentaires qui permettent de mieux lire la ville : ses formes urbaines, l'aménagement de ses espaces et ses modes de gouvernance. De Polygone à Odysseum en passant par Montpellier-Grand-Coeur, le tramway, les opérations de résidentialisation, les politiques culturelles ou le Schéma de cohérence territoriale, l'ouvrage s'articule autour des grands projets et dévoile les problématiques d'un territoire en mouvement, au coeur de la question métropolitaine, partant d'un " territoire projeté " pour affirmer un " style de ville ". Ce livre est le cinquième d'une série d'ouvrages spécifiques à chacune des villes ayant participé au programme Popsu (Plate-forme d'observation des projets et stratégies urbaines).
