Summary: | The old neighborhoods discussed in this article refer to the territories of the “Politique de la Ville” of the city of Lyon. Since the 1970s, they know significant urban transformations, with rehabilitation policies. Also, since forty years they benefited from a multitude of actions that improved the living environment of the population. All these interventions contributed to change their image and engendered important social and spatial transformations. The appreciation of these territories pulled a diversification of the population with the arrival of higher socio-professional groups : the gentrification is very present. We propose to draw a portrait of these territories by studying their evolutions in time. We will present the history of the public interventions, then we will analyze the dynamics of the social transformations, and finally we will present the current characteristics of these districts to comprehend the social profile of the inhabitants.
