In large French cities there is an amplification of the protest against the large urban projects, their capitalist logic and their consequences. These struggles provide more opportunities for convergence between social fronts usually separated. ----For example, the Ile-de-France, where the whole of the first ring is affected by the establishment of "Greater Paris" and its many sites, against which the population is mobilized, "Cluster" techno-industrial research on agricultural Saclay (92) Project Europa shopping center City (Auchan) on agricultural triangle in Gonesse, business centers or artistic creation on the Plaine Commune (93), construction Les Halles ... The whole is "wrapped" considerable transportation construction in the form of several stations and tram or subway, expected life easier for residents and inhabitants, and accompanied by an intense propaganda as well as public inquiries and citizen consultations regularly pip?es. In fact, it knows better than the Grand Paris, in its outside "requalification" of the public space, "opening" and other propaganda arguments, is nothing but a vast control plan stand in city centers.

And of course it expels or pushes the poor even further centers, and these projects are charged to all others. These phenomena (gentrification, metropolisation), they are described by the sociologist Jean-Pierre Garnier or opponents in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, are well received by the social movement: it is also at the festival of resistance and alternatives in 2011 a first collective federation gave birth to Costif, Coordination for the solidarity of the territories of ?le-de-France and against the Grand Paris.

Activists spheres who face the consequences of these logics are on separate fronts, and also have real political differences, but the example of Notre-Dame-des-Landes [ 1 ] shows that term without falling into the pasting a broad convergence fear create force off cooperation in the struggle against the capitalist urbanization.
