Urban commons as a concept and social practice represent a new socio-economic and territorial logic in sustainable urbanism. They take different forms and include several social groups, generating numerous ideas and practices, sometimes new and sometimes in continuity with the past. Experiences of how urban commons contribute to debates are explored in territorial studies, particularly around issues of citizen participation and territorial governance. Through two case studies of urban commons in the city of Bologna in Italy, the structural and contextual conditions that led to their creation are analysed, and the associative dynamics are developed. This article offers an overview of how these projects contribute to participatory territorial development by comparing six elements: inclusion and democratic practices; needs targeted and met; appropriation of urban space; political aspect; feminist values and practices; and ecological values and practices.

The multinational model Atlas, first part : the national models, by François Cellier, Ronan Le Berre, Didier Miqueu. The multinational model, Atlas, constructed by the modélisation and in ternational data bank section at the Forecast bureau, has been in use since autumn 1982 for making forecasts on Frances international environment and studying global scenarios associated with sundry hazards about raw material prices, exchange rates and economic policies, among other topics. Atlas contains a model for each of the nine main Oecd countries together with the rest of the world's simplified representation divided into seventeen areas. Countries and regions are connected to each other with a model of Commerce describing global bilateral flows on a two-product basis : oil and non oil. The article is devoted to the national models, since the commerce model is to come out in a next Economie & Prévision issue. Choosing specifications for national models results from a compromise between the findings of horizontal thematic research on the one hand and those of vertical country-basis research on the other hand. The first part of the article is deroted to an overall introduction to national models, their common and different features. The importance given to the properties of each model in retrospective simulation as in variation is particularly underscored. The second chapter explains how the relationships between household consumption and wages for every country are being dealt with. It gives one a clue to the sundry specifications, checked beforehand, and the contents of the choices that have been made. The third part presents the US model relationships in full. Through that example, the logic and working of models are set out in detail , their properties are also exemplified by the results from the model working in retrospective simulation and in variation.

In France, the social and medico-social sector is having to meet social needs that are in the process of rapid and profound change. The transformation of this sector, which has been orchestrated by public policies, is coalescing around an economy of benefits that is supposedly in the process of adapting to meet the needs of those groups deemed vulnerable as a result of old age or handicap. This economy or marketplace has been drawing together personalised professional services seen as capable of responding to the individual needs of those requesting them. It consists of distinct products and services that are both unrelated and difficult to evaluate, with the ‘consumer’ having to be guided through it to make the best possible choice. How to undertake a search for the right product is by no means an obvious matter, as the market is lacking in transparency and its products are of uncertain quality. To reduce the impact of these shortcomings, ‘consumers’ are forced to have recourse to information-seeking methods in finding a path towards a viable choice. The economics of singularities, a theoretical approach developed by Karpik (2007), offers us an interesting sociological reading of the development and growth of the services market in the social and medico-social sector, and provides us with analytical tools that allow us to grasp the realities of this evolution.
