ABSTRACT
The very idea of fluidification supposes that social and territorial structures take a back seat to a context that is capable of accommodating the most diverse aspirations. Chapter 6 showed, via a very specific example, that context was more than just a neutral backdrop for fluid forms of mobility. In the cities studied, one model of urban lifestyle takes precedence; it marks the territory through planning and the legislative apparatus, yet it corresponds to the aspirations of only a part of the population. This situation is an obstacle to certain forms of mobility which do not find a favourable terrain for their realisation. In this chapter, I will be examining again the issue of policies that affect the organisation of space by studying the production of context. How do social and political issues mark context? Via which process do we arrive at the development of contexts that facilitate certain aspirations and disqualify others?
