description This paper attempts to explore the relationships between residential segregation and urban decline processes in French medium-sized cities. It confronts the results of a classification that explores the diversity of urban decline forms in medium-sized cities with cartographies that provide a snapshot of the socio-spatial organisation of three medium-sized cities on an infra-urban level. While the classification highlights the diversity of configurations and combinations of demographic, economic, social and built environment vulnerabilities that can be found in medium-sized cities, the cartographies allow to seize precisely the social contrasts within cities, using a 200m grid. The analysis shows the diversity of medium-sized cities, whose social division of space varies greatly from one city to another and offers some understanding of the socio-spatial patterns observed in medium-sized cities. These patterns can be linked to more general processes of decline associated with global restructuring of production systems (deindustrialisation) and urbanisation (urban sprawl). Suburbanisation appears as a particularly decisive mechanism, which reinforces centre-periphery patterns in the socio-spatial configurations of medium-sized cities.
