Calenda Announcement 1,399,028 (excerpts)

The journalSociologie et sociétésis preparing a special issue titled “The City as a Challenge: Urban Competencies and the Everyday Construction of Society.” This issue aims to analyze urban life through the lens of the relationship between urban challenges and urban competencies. Housing, infrastructure, mobility, and public space are addressed as settings where social inequalities take shape and where residents develop practical responses. Here, “urban citizenship” refers to situated know-how that enables people to establish roots, move about, access services, and occupy space. Contributions should link an identifiable urban challenge to the skills mobilized to address it.
