Abstract

In French periurban municipalities, principles of justice considered legitimate by periurbanites are increasingly less associated to the political sphere and more attached to the economic sphere. Some municipalities (especially those with less than 2000 inhabitants) carry out policies that are increasingly similar to the management of private residential clubs. Thus, regarding territorialisation of periurbanites, the major transformation is less a rise of the private sector to the detriment of the public sector, than a change in the philosophical definition of the relationship to residential space. More precisely, the former should be regarded as a symptom of the latter, and not as a cause.
