“…The share of well-paid households in the tertiary sector is growing in the inner-city, and poorer households are forced further out from the metropole (Dembski et al, 2019). The latter's mobile precariousness was an important fuel for the Yellow Vests (Gilets Jaunes) mobilization (Godier and Tapie, 2020), and the scope of the issue in Bordeaux made it a stronghold for the movement.…”

In this article, I consider the relationship between urban planning and context by investigating the planning practices associated with a land-use plan in Bordeaux described as “adapted to context.” Invested with flexible rules, the plan description followed a tendency in French urban planning concerned with being strategic, prospective, and participatory. It was also the result of metropolitan planning. Through an ethnographic account, I show how local politicians’ references to context related to concerns with mayoral authority in times of planning powers transferred to the metropole. Using permit reviewers’ skills, mayors mobilized flexible rules to manipulate building permit decisions prepared in compliance with the metropolitan plan. It is widely acknowledged that urban planning is affected by as well as affecting different contexts. I outline a complementing approach by drawing on engagements with context in anthropology and STS-scholarship, to propose that the practices associated with the same notion in Bordeaux are telling of how urban planning contributes to making contexts. Since calls for context direct attention and shape which issues and local communities are prioritized, these insights on the relationship between planning and context urge attention to how appeals to context, as never value-neutral or ready-made, gain importance across different urban planning issues and settings.

“…Depuis 1968, date de création de la Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux (CUB), cet organisme intercommunal était principalement en charge de domaines techniques peu politisés (Godier et al, 2009) : l'aménagement des voiries, la distribution d'eau et les infrastructures de transports. Depuis les réformes décentralisatrices françaises (2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015), les compétences de la métropole recouvrent par un mécanisme de mutualisation celle des communes membres : espaces verts, logements, numérique, déchets, urbanisme, et plus récemment la conservation de la biodiversité urbaine en lien avec l'aménagement d'un hinterland estuarien rural soumis au risque inondation (Valette et al, 2016).…”
