In the beginning of the 21st century, the issue of discrimination became a subject of public policy. Based on two different logics: repressive and preventive, equal treatment policy was to become one of the primary tools in the realisation of the ideal of “actual” equality and social justice. Nonetheless, despite mobilising state institutions and the efforts of other organisations, implementation of the non-discrimination policies remains fraught with difficulties. To transform the letter of the law into real-world change constitutes a significant problem for French local governments. Likewise, social sciences encounter similar difficulties, particularly from the methodological and epistemic points of view; the city of Grenoble can serve as one of such case studies. The article discusses the research results of studies conducted by sociologists and political scientists from the Grenoble Alpes University. The main research topic was the complexity of the phenomenon and experience of discrimination as well as the functioning of the Urban Policy, which is perceived in France as a political answer to the issue of growing social and economic inequalities in the so-called difficult neighbourhoods. The example of Grenoble contributes a lot of findings which can serve as a basis of general reflection on the coherence and effectiveness of the implemented policies as well as their actual influence on leveling the inequalities among the inhabitants of urban spaces.
