City temporalities - [contributions] presented at the 5th HyperUrbain international conference, held at t

Nowadays, and since the last twenty years, an increasing number of European cities develop and implement city time policies whose objective is twofold:

• Design a planning "of time" that organizes the mobility flow;
• Coordinate schedule accessibility to the offered services.

Beyond the functional aspects (better accessibility and organization of public services), the city times include other dimensions, much more complex, linking the individual to society and territory.

This collection of contributions around the theme "The temporality of the city" considers the polysemic notion of temporality and it questions pluralistic and multidisciplinary approaches about the sens that this concept takes in the urban space. Temporality of the city is not only the result of a historical sedimentation, but it relates to both the fabric of the city, its design and production, and urban practices: the city thought, designed, built, lived, used ... by the various stakeholders.

The contributions of this volume offer reflections, accomplished or underway, about synchronized or distinguished city time.
