- Abstract
The management of work-life and its opposite (domestic life) is an important issue which has usually been centered on firms, the national state and family policy. Récent research highlights the fact that municipalities and territories also play a rôle. Indeed, the use of space and time is a central dimension of daily life and dépends on the spatial and temporal organisation of the city, as well as management of territories. Temporal issues are therefore central to the challenges that cities, and more largely territories hâve to face, with their structures, their services and their planning actions. This article shows how structures such as time offices or agencies can help in the management of work schedules, of transportation, as well as work-family balance issues, and how municipalities and territories can, in coopération with civil society and other organisations, facilitate the management of domestic life.
