Résumé anglais Marie-Geneviève Raymond : Housing ideology and the opposition of town and country. One often notices, in political ideologies as in urbanistic theories, an opposition between the peaceful world of the country and the urban world which is identified with the biological decay of the individual, with controlled activity, social frustration and the absence of political integration. In the 19th century, housing ideologies, such as they appear in different texts, dealing with urban concentration and the problem of workers, also deals with the themes of this opposition. ? The analysis of economic, moral and psychological predictions inherent to the analysis of the individual dwelling and the apology for the collective dwelling, shows the existence of two integrating Utopias. The conservative Utopia proposes « ruralization » as a way of dealing with the class struggle ; the Marxist or collectivist position defends economic freedom and the right to low-cost housing. ? The debate for or against individualism implies that housing concepts are expressed on a political level, both as an image, of a way of life and as the representation of social life.
