This paper analyzes the unfolding of the 2008 municipal election in a wealthy suburban community. Conducted in the “heat of the moment,” the survey seeks first to outline the different fractions of the middle and upper classes locally represented, as well as their expectations in terms of the strategies of urban development. It then considers the electoral offer and emphasizes the way in which these different strategies have been presented as the key issue of the election. Oscillating between the explicit demand for “social and intergenerational diversity” and the determination to safeguard the “rural and residential habitat,” the question of in-group sociability is key to electoral mobilizations. Yet, the results of the election suggest that the vision of suburban spaces as the main theater of social and urban secession must be relativized.
