Abstract
This chapter aims at documenting the spatial mobility practices of teenagers who live in segregated neighbourhoods and analysing these practices in relation to the teenagers’ sense of territorial belonging. This issue is addressed through the case of the Sensitive Urban Areas (SUAs) in the Parisian region, neighbourhoods that have been targeted by French urban policy since 1996. Best known as banlieues (Wacquant, 2008), these are areas which have come to the forefront of the mass media since the 2005 riots. They are mainly located in the suburbs, but some are in the inner city.
