Territory, borders and social mixing: The case of the Fonderie
The Mulhouse Fonderie district has the particularity of being a “Priority Neighbourhood” (QPV) hosting a faculty. However, it is not exempt from the rule of the compartmentalization of the various populations that frequent the space. The implementation of educational supports and French as a language of integration (FLI) courses within this faculty has changed representations, among local residents, students and university staff. This heuristic study proposes an understanding of the mechanisms and issues related to territoriality, borders and social mixing through socio-educational actions in the Foundry district.
