The research that embodies this dissertation was born from such inquiry, motivated by a trip to Chicago. The inevitable comparison of the urban qualities, particularly of the excellent public transportation, enjoyed by the North-American economic centre with the correspondent features of São Paulo, important productive centre nationally, has led to the search for an explanation. Not of the difference between the respective spaces, but of the factors that produce it, validate it and preserve it throughout time. The development of the case study - the formation of Chicago - has opened up new perspectives for the inclusion of the historic dimension contemplating the differences in the struggles that led to the building of the American state, through its autonomous accumulative regime. The dissertation has been divided into four parts. The introduction presents the theme and delimits its theoretical guidelines. Chapter I follows the formation of Chicago in the light of the formation of the American national space. Chapter II describes the public transportation facilities of the city, underlining the massive presence of the State in its provision. The conclusion takes back some of the central themes of the research in order to compare them to the metropolitan area of São Paulo.

L’objectif de cette thèse est de comprendre les résultats contrastés des programmes de transformation des quartiers populaires des métropoles de Paris et de Chicago. Depuis les années 1990, des programmes d’ampleur sont réalisés dans ces territoires dans le but de déconcentrer la pauvreté et de lutter contre les multiples formes de la ségrégation urbaine. Si ces initiatives ont abouti à des réalisations urbaines importantes, elles n’ont pas eu les résultats sociaux et économiques attendus. L’étude de la « mise en œuvre » permet d’expliquer ce phénomène. La thèse est structurée en trois axes : institutions, pratiques et représentations, apprentissages. Elle s’appuie sur une comparaison qualitative multi-scalaire de quatre études de cas dans deux métropoles singulières. Tout d’abord, nous étudions l’histoire institutionnelle et la gouvernance qui encadrent les projets de rénovation urbaine en faveur de la mixité. Nous analysons ensuite les divers processus qui accompagnent leur concrétisation, en soulignant l’importance des facteurs contextuels et l’influence des cadres d’interprétation et de traduction des politiques publiques. Nous examinons enfin les dynamiques d'apprentissage observables durant les dernières années. Nous montrons que l’adaptation politique est possible sous certaines conditions. En conclusion, différents modes de mise en œuvre sont théorisés à partir de nos résultats empiriques et en continuité avec les travaux de troisième génération portant sur cette phase. Leur analyse théorique montre que les ambiguïtés initiales des politiques publiques sont vectrices de tensions, voire de conflits, proportionnels au cours de la mise en œuvre. / The first objective of this dissertation is to understand the contrasted results of public programs aiming at the urban, social and economic transformation of low-income neighborhoods in the metropolitan areas of Paris and Chicago. Since the 1990s, large-scale programs have been implemented in those areas. They follow the goal of poverty deconcentration and try to tackle the multiple forms of urban segregation. If those initiatives have led to significant urban results, they have not engendered the expected social and economic outcomes. The analysis of implementation contributes to explain this phenomenon. This dissertation is structured around three main lines: institutions, practices and representations, learning effects. It builds upon a multi-scalar international comparison of four case studies conducted in two specific metropolises. First, we focus on the institutional heritage and the governance of urban renewal projects targeting diversity. Then, we analyze the multiple processes that relate to their implementation, emphasizing the significance of both contextual factors and the different interpretive frames within public policies. Finally, we study the learning processes recently at stake. We show that policy adaptation is only possible under certain conditions. In conclusion, distinct modes of implementation are theorized based on our empirical results and in accordance with the third generation of implementation research. Their theoretical analysis shows that ambiguities of policy design are leading toward proportional tensions, even conflicts, in the implementation phase.

Then, two large empirical research projects were coordinated, called community studies.

Racially restrictive housing covenants, their diffusion, and the motivations of those who created them in the northern cities of America in the early 20th century are thoroughly covered within the discipline of political science. Despite the existing literature about racially restrictive covenants, there is very little existing literature or research that covers outcomes (education, political participation, power distribution, income disparities, etc.) in relation to racially restrictive covenants. This thesis investigates how the legacy of racially restrictive housing covenants impacted modern educational outcomes, specifically graduation rates, in the city of Chicago. The methodological approach includes both qualitative and quantitative analysis of historical maps, population demographic distribution, court cases, housing policy, and high-school graduation rates (from 1999–2014). Based on historical background and data analysis, the racially restrictive housing covenants in the city of Chicago led to pervasive patterns of neighborhood segregation that contribute to the racialization of educational outcomes. These findings help to provide quantitative evidence that the legacy and impact of racially restrictive housing covenant policy still impact modern living conditions and outcomes in education and possibly beyond.
