| Résumé anglais |
The detailed study of two working-class housing estates in the suburbs of Lyon and St. Etienne, today deserted by the industries which were at their origin, questions the way the media almost systematically present 'problem' suburbs as zones of poverty- Analysing both individual strategies of house purchase and appropriation of buildings as they are rehabilitated shows the resistance of residents to such generalization about the areas in which they live. A link can be seen with a tradition of sociability, generated through working together, which still exists despite the closure of factories. Given that these two estates are structured and integrated areas with an industrial heritage, it is inappropriate to consider their present situation merely in terms of their urban location and the current restructuring of market economies. Thus the term "problem suburb", in the sense that it is used by the media and scientific communities loses much of its sense if the phenomenon of desindustrialisation is not taken into account.
