Can suburbanization processes and "exurbs" in Paris, London and New York really be compared and why ? What are the main economic, sociological as well as environmental issues they are facing today ? To what extent are these territories, as often described, the heart of today's political discontent and populist votes (Trump, Brexit, "gilets jaunes"...)? To what extent are they jeopardized by metropolization processes being witnessed worldwide and specifically in such metropolitan areas? Robert E. Lang and Eric Charmes will confront their views on "exurbs" territories and populations in a comparative perspective applied to Paris, London and New York

Speakers

Éric Charmes is a Professor in Social Sciences applied to Urban Studies and Chairs the laboratory Recherches interdisciplinaires ville, espace, société (RIVES ; École nationale des travaux publics d’État (ENTPE), University of Lyon). His research mostly focus on the relationship of citizens to their immediate environment and the dynamics of residential territorialization. He is currently the main specialist of "exurbs" territories and populations in France.

He has authored over 220 academic and professional publications and has coined several new urban planning terminologies such as the “Sun Corridor,” "Boomburbs," and "Edgeless Cities."
