Descrição
O estudo de Lyon nos tempos modernos mostra que é impossível compreender a ação da administração municipal somente a partir das fontes escritas. Isso porque elas se referem geralmente a endereços difíceis de localizar com precisão, e porque parecem refletir apenas ações isoladas. Somente uma narrativa geral é possível trabalhando-se dessa maneira. A cartografia de precisão faz surgir as lógicas de funcionamento implícitas por trás das decisões aparentemente isoladas, localizando cada casa, associando-se casas e nomes, informando as transformações das ruas. Os agrupamentos de eventos espaciais sobre o mapa associaram as decisões antes impossíveis de visualizar: séries de reconstruções ao longo de novos alinhamentos, pavimentação de trechos de ruas, adução de água, localização da riqueza e pobreza, ligações políticas. Assim, as lógicas de planificação não mencionadas nas fontes escritas tornam-se evidentes. A geografia ajuda a fazer uma história que seja também uma história sobre o espaço e entrelaçada ao tecido urbano.||The study of Lyons in modern times shows that it is impossible to understand the action of municipal authorities only from written sources.

The clusters of spatial events on the map show associated decisions otherwise impossible to see: series of re-buildings along new lines, paving of street sections, water conduits, location of wealth and poverty, political links. Thus, planning logics not mentioned in written sources become obvious. Geography helps making a history that be also a history in space and weaved with urban fabric.||The study of Lyons in modern times shows that it is impossible to understand the action of municipal authorities only from written sources.
