Participates in 2 items

Robin Lesné holds a Ph.D. in Spatial planning and Urbanism of the Université du Littoral Côte d'Opale (France) and the laboratory TVES (Territoires, Villes, Environnement & Société ULR4477). He holds a master's degree in spatial planning and urbanism. Robin does interdisciplinary research in Geography, Urban Planning, Urban Sociology, and Urban Sports. His thesis project, co-directed by Christophe Gibout and Florian Lebreton (ULCO-TVES), focuses on the recreational city. It aims to understand the evolution of the use of urban spaces by transgressive leisure activities (parkour and urbex) and to highlight the daily construction of the recreational city while questioning its recognition, acceptance, and consideration by public authorities.

The role of industrial heritage in urban development has been extensively acknowledged in guiding and legitimizing the policies and discourses implemented by governments mostly to ensure the continuity between the past, present and future. Mega-events such as sports (e.g. Olympics, World Cup, etc.), cultural (Universal Expositions and national Exhibitions), economic (trade and technology fairs) events are often opportunities used in a top-down process to reinforce the mobilization of the i...

Les friches industrielles sont devenues des figures urbaines ordinaires et témoignent, dans les anciennes puissances industrielles mais aussi dans les pays du Sud, des transformations du tissu urbain ainsi que du fait qu’il y ait processus de qualification, déqualification et, parfois, requalification de ces lieux. Les transformations qui les caractérisent structurent aujourd’hui d’indéniables enjeux politiques, sociologiques, spatiaux et culturels.Dans le cadre de ce congrès dont l...

From its construction to its restoration, immerse yourself in the now and then of this key Canadian industrial heritage site. A country’s central maritime route, a major inland port, the Canadian Lowell (using hydraulic power), the cradle of industrialization, Smokey Valley (using steam), a manufacturing hotspot, the Lachine Canal is all of this and more. For it is also a national historic site, for which

9:00 AM - 10:30 AM | 1 hour 30 minutes

The proposed session will examine the unfolding relationship between industrial heritage and those left behind in adjoining deindustrialized working-class areas. The four papers seek to understand the socio-economic and political impact of recognizing the industrial past in the present. Two guiding questions will be asked. Can industrial heritage support those ‘left behind’ in deindustrialized areas where nothing, or very little, has filled the economic or cultural vacuum? Has industrial h...
