Résumé anglais |
Urban society in the arab and islamic world was for a long time closely adapted to the urban morphology, clearly setting apart private spaces (residential areas) from the network of public spaces focussed on the souk. Modern public spaces along western lines have been set up rapidly, characterised by their monumental aspect, squares, public gardens, boulevards and inner spaces for various activities. Are these developments leading to significant changes in the public sphere, which traditionally has been based on users' behaviour, with the exclusion or edging out of certain groups ? It seems that political interests connected with the production mechanisms and uses of public spaces encourage, in the new urban spaces, the continuation of theses uses and the persistence of operational practices inherited from the past.
