Whereas research has shown that the policies that enforced cohabitation and segregation perpetuated racialisation in the housing structures (F. Belmessous, 2013;Hajjat, 2018), this research does not take into account the presence of interracialised households. Interracialised households were present in both the cités de transit and HLM housing for North-African families.…”

“…The French administration problematised and regulated migrants within the French metropolitan territory through housing policies, based on colonial modes of governance (Bernardot, 2008;Hajjat, 2018;House & Thompson, 2016;Lyons, 2006;MacMaster, 1997). Researchers have shown that the French authorities implemented housing policies that were based on logics of gendered assimilation and spatial distribution, but enforced exclusion of migrants from the French community (F. Belmessous, 2013;Bernardot, 2008;Hajjat, 2018;Hmed, 2006;Lyons, 2006Lyons, , 2009Lyons, , 2013. However, this scholarship does not examine how the household categories were constructed in the Rirst place.…”

Literature on immigrant housing and assimilation has shown how housing policies perpetuate, create and contest racial boundaries. This paper argues for the necessity to look at the regulation of domestic space together with the regulation of the urban space. By reading “along” and “against” the archival grain, this paper looks at housing policies that targeted the North-African migrant population in the 1960s and 1970s in France as colonial continuities. French authorities ostensibly encouraged gendered assimilation through spatial politics and interventions in the domestic space. Literature on the French context has shown how this perpetuated racialisation in the housing process. Building upon feminist scholarship on gender, intimacy, and colonialism, this paper shows how these policies did not acknowledge interracialised households and prevented interracialised intimacies. This helps understand how housing policies can reinforce racialised exclusion by regulating racial boundaries in the urban space and the domestic space together.

“…15 In fact, until the beginning of the 1970s, the policy of public authorities concerning the improvement of foreigners’/migrants’ 16 accommodations was practically non-existent, because immigration policies were considered a matter for the economic domain. Housing was a matter neither for national nor local policy (except for the Sonacotral foyers ; Belmessous, 2013).…”

According to the ‘French Republican integration pattern’ – based on the principle of colour-blind universality – naming people using ethnic or racial references is illegal in the administration’s documentation as well as in the census. Yet, aspects of the colonial rights system were adopted into the French Republican ideology, thereby constituting a very specific relationship between nationality and citizenship in the administrative management of colonial natives on French mainland soil. This paper reveals the ambiguities of the Republican ideas when they were implemented by street-level administrators within Lyon’s metropolitan area (1950–1970). Examining the administration’s documentation in the Archives of the Rhône Department (ARD), this paper demonstrates how the Ministry of the Interior took leadership in the welfare sector, especially in housing and urban policies. Its role and work built upon the roots of institutionalized racism which accompanied the settlement of Algerian populations in France, even after Algeria’s independence (1962). By institutionalizing racial treatment, the successive administrations in charge of housing and urban policies within the Lyon metropolitan area have contributed to the legitimization of an ideology of segregation based on opposing aims: on the one hand, the mixing and coexistence of different cultural and ethnic groups, and on the other hand, the adherence to a supposed ‘tolerability threshold’ using arbitrarily developed quotas for the settlement of Algerians.

“…It serves as a reflection basis for the development and implementation of a comprehensive approach for the enhancement of existing residential areas (Kerivel & James, 2019). Indeed, social mix is considered as a necessary vector for life, which allows contribution between citizens, and limits social cleavage and tensions (Belmessous, 2013). Its objective is to inhabit the city or the neighbourhood in a social intermingling between inhabitants with a social diversity and different social characteristics, in the same so-called public space (Hristova & all, 2016).…”

This article proposes the study of social mix evolution of through the public space. To that end, attention is focused on the “Frères Fisli” neighbourhood in Azzaba city as a case study. A social space, which, is considered as an adequate place, that promotes social mix and living together between Algerian inhabitants of different types of habitat that exist. The main objective of this article is to quantify the impact of public spaces to achieve the goal of social mix and its management, in order to promote living together. In order to carry out our survey, the study uses two survey tools: the mind map and the questionnaire. The choice of these two tools is not fortuitous. It has been studied in order to carefully check whether the constraints for the public space development are dependent on the evolution of inhabitants ‘social relations.
