Authorized authors generally consider that the urban form of social housing schemes is rot a decisive, or even influential factor in the exten¬sion of current problems. Here, spatial determi¬nism has the counterpart of a reducing socio-economic determinism. In fact, these parts of the city cannot be overlooked, as if they cons-tituted only a backdrop to the " Misère du monde ". This article, offering a synthesis of ear¬lier work, endeavours to reflect on the articula¬tion between urban form and social life. To encompass this relationship, he undertakes an ethno-architectural interpretation of the space of these priority development zones (Zup), consi¬dering that two cultures of space are brought to¬gether in these social housing districts, that of the building authorities and engineers, front which the form of the housing project is derived, and that of the inhabitants. The latter are literal¬ly confronted with the techno-aesthetic culture of the former, materialized in space, and univer¬sal while special anthropological values reside there somehow or other.
