Abstract

In Grenoble, perhaps more than anywhere else, the technopolitan phenomenon has given rise to a vision of the role of innovation and of the knowledge economy in territorial development which is shared by a number of stakeholders. This economy is organized in clearly identified clusters of which the performances are celebrated in the various rankings produced by the media and international institutions. However, the capital of the Alps appears to be weakened from an economic and social perspective: a number of worrying signs appear to be compromising the image of the ?Grenoble model?. One of the ways to address this problem could be to metropolise the technopolis. Despite being awarded the metropolis status in January 2015 following the MAPTAM legislation, Grenoble does not yet have all the economic and sociopolitical attributes of a metropolis. In particular, it has not yet been able to embed its clusters in the local urban society, nor has it diversified its economy or renewed its modes of governance. © 2016 Lavoisier, Paris.
