Requalification urbaine et justice environnementale : Quelle compatibilité ? Débats autour de la métamorphose de Lausanne by Yves Bonard, Marianne Thomann

“…However, urban renewal – in particular through the construction of « sustainable districts » - tends to induce social polarisation, thus revealing a  deep contradiction between the social and ecological dimensions of urban development.Social mixity is widely promoted as a solution for reducing segregation and eviction of vulnerable populations by urban renewal projects.

La Ligne verte, frontière de l’Union européenne ? by Etienne Copeaux, Claire Mauss-Copeaux

“…Si la division de l’île en parties hermétiquement séparées, « grecque » et « turque » (jusqu’en 2003) remonte à 1974, le partage territorial entre musulmans et orthodoxes était effectif depuis 1964, et l’île est partagée entre la république de Chypre et la Grande-Bretagne depuis 1960.
