Autores ResumoIn search of a geometry of inhabited space in the works of Camille Vallaux, Jean Gottmann, and Gilles Ritchot. — Discontinuities in geography can be understood as the different possible ways of disrupting the continuity of lived space. The analysis of geographical continuity, partly produced by human activity, requires a topological model of geographical space that cannot be based on simple geometry. A comparative study of the original theories of Camille Vallaux (1870-1945), Jean Gottmann (1915-1994) and Gilles Ritchot (b. 1935) reveals a common vision in their models of inhabited space. This vision can be described as a physical substratum covered by two layers — one generated by political movement, the other by economic circulation — which are linked by a core of social relationships. This common model leads the three authors to a general typology of geographical singularities and breaks, which in turn forms the basis for their analysis of spatial structures.
