Abstract: This paper presents exploratory work to understand the characterisation of the ‘Creole city’ inLa Réunion, through an analysis of three renovated districts. The purpose is to inform urbanrenewal programmes so that they take better account of local lifestyles and needs. Theresearch on representations and symbols involves a method to collect and analyse data thatcombines in situ situations and a strong day-to-day approach, namely, walking. This method,that may be used elsewhere, reveals the functioning qualities of traditional Creole cities as anurbanity that is adapted to its environment, and based on proximity and soft transport modes.
