Maitriser les rythmes quotidiens: nouvelle revendication du droit à la ville ?

To « slow down », « take time », « have more time ». Here are some of the wishes expressed by almost all of the twenty people, leaving and/or working in the city of Bordeaux, that have been interviewed through a sociological investigation. However, by spatializing and observing the daily journey of each individual, it occurred that numerous times and slowing down spaces do exist, punctuating their day. Transport and waiting times, railway stations or multimodal places, commercial or working areas, do not appear to be experienced the same way by respondents. Some would like to accelerate in order not to suffer from this slowness in that place and / or at that time of the day. Others choose instead to take advantage of this space-time as a place of synchronization and balance in their daily journey. The planning of these slowing down spaces and times then appears to be a major issue in the individual control of one’s time and in the plural claim of a right to the city.
