Abstract

In Bordeaux, the creation of the PRES University of Bordeaux (a public university system) in 2007 was followed by the selection of the project within the national Campus Plan. This change in the university landscape takes part in a process of wider change confirmed by the Law on Higher Education and Research (ESR), adopted in July 2013. The case of Bordeaux offers an interesting opportunity to study the peculiarities of the recent transformations of the French University. It combines indeed an institutional reform with the partial merger of institutions, and management of a very large land easement (especially around a large campus). The study of Bordeaux can lead to question the ability of the university to build itself as a real planner and to transform its relationship with the local territory.
