Electronic Music and Urban Reorganization

Electronic Music and Urban Reorganization - 2004.
31
The September 2001 explosion in the AZF factory in Toulouse had a heavy impact on the cultural life of this urban area, in particular regarding the diffusion of electronic music. The closing of two key units had two effects: production became more fragmented throughout the urban area and new actors emerged, both private and public. Nevertheless this disaster did not seriously disrupt the ongoing urban reorganization. Two factors were important: the amplification of developments already underway and, at the same time, the backtracking of the strategies of certain actors, with local politicians remaining locked into their municipal logics, without dialogue or collective action.
