ARTICLE

Displaced centres of gravity

The discussions we tend to have about our cities almost always respond to a reality that imposes (in a literal sense) the issues to be worked on, often without any previous work having been carried out on such issues: urban transformations happen in this way, and if they are not discussed the situation develops without the control of technical planners and politicians, who could do something to direct such transformations, if, that is, they had sufficient awareness of them.

The case of the city of Lyon allows us to reflect on how planning and action can be taken in relation to a city in need of controlled growth.
