For some time the 'Commission Internationale pour l'Histoire des Villes' has been working actively on the comprehensive topic of urban space which is also the aim of this book - result of conferences in Lisbon (2013) and in Clermont-Ferrand (2014). Two thematic priorities are presented in this combined English and French speaking volume: on the one hand cultural-symbolic spaces, on the other hand complexity of urban districts which formed in spite of all diversities collective cities (such as Clermont-Ferrand). Continuous transformation of urban space and dichotomy shaped cities: Cities can be understood as space of town rulers, but also as space of a growing 'boheme', but you will find also neighbourhood of Jewish and Muslim quarters. French description: La thematique complexe de l'espace est depuis longtemps au centre des reflexions de la Commission Internationale pour l'Histoire des Villes. Le present volume qui publie les communications faites (en francais et en anglais) a ses colloques de Lisbonne (2013) et de Clermont-Ferrand (2014) en est une expression. Ces colloques ont traite de deux axes principaux: d'une part les espaces culturels et symboliques et d'autre part la ville complexe, composee de multiples quartiers format pourtant une seule ville. La transformation perpetuelle de l'espace urbain et la diversite faconnent la ville: elle peut etre comprise comme espace d'un seigneur urbain, mais aussi de l'emergence d'une boheme; on y trouve des quartiers juifs qui voisinent avec des ilots musulmans, etc.
