- The Political Construction of Agglomerations: Institutional Transitions in France and Quebec Anne Mévellec Estudios Territoriales Z0 R12 inter France Quebec This article presents an examination of the political construction of agglomerated communities from three perspectives. Agglomerations are perceived as territories, political institutions and sources of public action. Reforms to consolidate two agglomerations in Quebec and France were analyzed to determine whether the transition from the municipal level to the agglomeration level involved a minor shiftor a major transformation of the logic underlying territorial, political or public action. The analysis is based on two case studies: the creation of the agglomeration of Rennes Métropole in France and the establishment of the Ville de Saguenay, or City of Saguenay, in Quebec. The evidence showed that the municipal mesh in agglomerations was highly resilient, even during the merger process and the transformation of the relationship between territory and politics. 2008 artículo científico 1697-6223 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50400902 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=504 Urban Public Economics Review application/pdf Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Urban Public Economics Review (España) Num.9
