What do we know about Grenoble? A green city, a polluted city, a dangerous city, a technological city, a sporting city, an ugly city...
Beyond clichés and media representations, what are the sociological characteristics of this medium-sized city? This book paints a sociological portrait of the socio-demographic, economic, urban, political, and cultural characteristics of the city and its populations. It shows that while Grenoble has all the hallmarks of a large city, with its major research centers, high-tech companies, and high concentration of executives and engineers, it also seems to share the associated problems: pollution, crime, and inequality. Nevertheless, the city has historically distinguished itself as a meeting place for the political, scientific, and industrial worlds, which have built a reputation as a laboratory for innovations of all kinds.
Sociologie de Grenoble offers an in-depth discussion of this rewriting, drawing on extensive socioeconomic data, the latest social science research on the region, and original surveys conducted in collaboration with faculty members and students from the sociology department at the University of Grenoble Alpes.
