Latts researchers Félix Adisson, Antoine Guironnet, and Ludovic Halbert contributed to the latest issue of the journal Espaces et Sociétés entitled "Financing the city: Changes in cities under financial constraints" (No. 174). Their three articles focus on the financialization of urban production. Online access: https://www.cairn.info/revue-espaces-et-societes-2018-3.htm
is co-organizer of this symposium with Nadia Arab
(Professor – University of Paris-Est – Paris School of Urban Planning – Lab'Urba – (EA4472)) and Gilles Crague
(Director of Research – University of Paris-Est – Ecole des Ponts Paristech – CIRED (UMR8568)).
It will take place on Friday, March 29, 2019,
at the Centre des Archives du Monde du Travail in Roubaix.
This symposium concludes a three-year action research program conducted with the City of Roubaix and the financial support of the Métropole Européenne de Lille. It will put into perspective both the questions raised and the initial results of this work. Indeed, the case of Roubaix is symptomatic of a metropolitan area where urban decline coexists with a process of metropolization that affects the urban agglomeration in an unequal manner. This action research has led to a questioning of the paradigms of metropolitan development as they are currently conceived and implemented, whether in terms of improving the living environment or stimulating economic development and local employment.
This day will be divided into four parts: the first will focus on the role of metropolitan areas in regional development, both within urban areas and on a larger regional scale; the second will look at the place given to urban economic diversity in metropolitan areas, beyond dedicated tertiary zones and "metropolitan function frameworks"; the third focuses on the issue of employment, which goes beyond that of competitiveness; and the last on the capacity of metropolitan areas to provide a high-quality living environment for residents of struggling inner-city areas.

Self-monitoring devices: reflexivity, temporality, and the "work" of actors.
The case of diabetes.
François-Mathieu Poupeau is co-organizing the fifth session of the seminar "Local Authorities and the Financing of the Energy Transition" with Carine Staropoli (PSE, University of Paris 1 and EPPP Chair) and Benoît Boutaud (European Institute for Energy Research) as part of the work of the Research Group on Local Government in Europe (GRALE). The session will focus on mobility issues.
It will be held on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, at the Maison des Sciences économiques (106-112 boulevard de l'Hôpital, 75013 Paris, Metro: Campo Formio, room S/2).
François Colet (Head of Innovative Charging Systems & Shared Energy Projects, Vedecom Institute), Patrice Saint-Blancard (Director of Sustainable Transport and Mobility at the Centre-Val de Loire Regional Council), and Étienne Chaufour (Director of Île-de-France, in charge of education, solidarity, and mobility, France urbaine) will discuss the topic: "Local authorities and mobility issues."
Admission is free, but registration is recommended (grale@univ-paris1.fr).
Olivier Coutard and Ludovic Halbert will be speaking at these events:
The ASRDLF 2019 Doctoral Conference will be held for the second consecutive year at the Institute of Urban Planning and Alpine Geography, University of Grenoble Alpes, on February 4, 5, and 6, 2019.
These doctoral conferences are aimed at doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences (planning, economics, geography, management, history, political science, sociology, etc.) whose work focuses on territorial issues.
Providing a genuine opportunity for exchange and debate between young researchers and established scholars, the doctoral conferences take the form of thematic workshops. Four or five doctoral students present their work to several faculty members and other doctoral students, benefiting from their insights and experience.
The event also includes plenary sessions: lectures (Ludovic Halbert, CNRS researcher at LATTS; Leila Kebir, researcher at the University of Lausanne, and Frédéric Wallet, INRA engineer); information session on completing a thesis in the presence of doctoral school directors and CNU presidents (geography, urban planning, and economics); presentation of the CNRS competition in section 39; presentation of professional integration programs after the doctorate, etc.
The doctoral conferences bring together 70 doctoral students and around 15 professors and supervisors from across the French-speaking world.
These doctoral seminars are organized by the Pacte laboratory with the support of the IUGA on behalf of the Association de science régionale de langue française (ASRDLF). This international scientific association, publisher of the Revue d’Economie Régionale et Urbaine, with approximately 350 members, organizes a conference and a doctoral school each year at various university sites in France and abroad.
Robin Foot will participate in the Techniques & Culture Meetings on the future issue "In case of failure" on January 29 and 30, 2019, at the Centre de La Vieille Charité (Marseille).

Constance Berté will participate in the Young Researchers Day on Thursday, January 24, 2019, entitled "Infrastructure, Ecology and Landscape, Societies and Territories" AgroParisTech – Paris 1 – ITTECOP
The aim of the day is to provide an overview of the new themes and issues addressed by young researchers in relation to infrastructure in all its diversity and to compare approaches with operational partners and established researchers.
The day is intended to promote discussion on research themes, epistemological positions (particularly between fundamental research and operational research, and on the status of embedded researchers) and methodological questions. It also aims to encourage encounters between doctoral students, professionals, regional stakeholders, and various laboratories. It is therefore an opportunity to present functional results intended to optimize the construction of new infrastructure and the long-term management of existing infrastructure.
