It is a practical manual which is based on a thought and an ethics of the city, which starts from the existing and tries to grasp it. The work crosses the spatial and social dimensions of the city. He does not seek to convince. It exposes, step by step, the benefit that would represent for all, individually and collectively, a civil public space, favoring citizenship, equality and solidarity. The book, made up of 19 thematic entries (benches, floors, stations, urban safety, etc.), offers a choice of recommendations which, without claiming to be exhaustive or perfect, tend toward an ethics of interventions in the city.
