When a new documentation centre was created in 2005 following the merging of funds from the different laboratories within the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme de Tours, the question of transferring its documentary resources to an electronic format appeared essential.
 
An initial inventory of the documentary resources currently available via the internet revealed that they were so dispersed that it was extremely complicated to carry out searches in the field of the social sciences, and even more so for urban studies. It was thus decided to create an electronic resource centre on cities: Crévilles.org.

The first objective of this project was thus to facilitate searches at the intersection of the social sciences and urban studies by bringing together access to electronic documentary resources via an website which provides a whole range of search tools accessible online to everyone.
 
 
The second objective was to create an electronic library available via this site, using the resources of the MSH de Tours, in order to participate at our own level in the vast movement of buiding a universal digital library (and thus one with free access for all). This project was to be carried out in collaboration with other large projects of this type, and through association with all institutions interested in this issue, both to provide content and to create new co-operative documentary projects.
 
 
The intellectual and ergonomic construction of this electronic resource centre in the form of a website will take place in several stages, with a gradual integration of the tools for facilitating documentary research and of the resources specific to the MSH de Tours.

Crévilles.org is produced by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme de Tours, an inter-departmental unit (UMS 1835) of the CNRS and Tours University.

Crévilles.org is designed, developed and maintained by Pascal Garret, Stéphane Loret, Marie-Christine Lyaet, Thomas Lallier, Joanna Greenland and Jean-Philippe Corbellini under the management of Sylvette Denèfle, head of the MSH de Tours.

Description
This component of the programme, directed by Prof Jo Beall, involved a comparative study of the relationship between cities and states, whilst also locating cities within regional and global contexts. There is a close historical relationship between cities and state making and the research sought to demonstrate how cities in fragile states - as social, economic, political and spatial entities - can promote or prevent the unravelling of the state. Over the past two decades, many cities around the world have become characterised by rising forms of violence, insecurity and illegality. Our research considers these characteristics to be constitutive of state fragility. We have carried out research in the following cities and urban centres:-

Ahmedabad, Arua, Bogota, Dar-es-Salaam, Goma, Gulu, Kabul, Kampala, Karachi, Kigali, Kinshasa, Managua, Maputo, Medellin, Quetta
In our opinion...
The website for this research theme most notably includes several dozen working papers, which are freely available to download as full text. There are also links to other resources, such as podcasts or videos.
