Abstract: This paper offers a socio-historical analysis of the relationship of French citizens to legislations and public policies? programmes aimed at developing social mix. While, in the seventies, opposition to urban renewal programmes excluding the poorest from the city centers was seen as a legitimate form of action, the injunction to social mix is nowadays largely imposed on people. Associations and collectives fighting against the demolition of housing or the expulsion of poor tenants have changed their discourse and repertoire of actions. The collective conception of the category of citizen has melded into a personal relationship to institutions, while French professionals feel no legitimacy to advise, judicially and strategically, the renovated neighbourhood?s inhabitants. Finally, this paper tries to list the explanations of the contemporary lack of democratic debate about urban renewal projects in comparison with the seventies.
