[...] While preparing the lessons this year, I realize that the notion of 'habiting' is diluted in the three themes that make up their program. The question arises as to how to ensure the continuity of this notion and how to make the fifth-grade students, who are going through a crucial stage of their intellectual development, understand that there is a relationship between 'habiting' and each of the themes? This year, the geography course is distinguished by the level of abstraction it requires. [...]
[...] Seen from this angle, 'habiter' has multiple meanings: it's 'to remain', 'to possess', 'to build', and 'to live in symbiosis' with concrete spaces. A point of view that is not far from of that of Olivier Lazzarotti (2015), for whom inhabiting is 'building oneself by building space'; a definition that highlights the 'existential', 'political', and 'anthropological' dimensions. The latter reviews the three themes that I address in the fifth, as it tackles demographic issues, resource availability, and security. Conclusion Among the sources examined that focus on the concept of 'inhabiting', the prominent names that catch my attention are Sivignon (1993) and Olivier Lazzarotti (2015). [...]

[...] Choice of the questioned notion: 'habiter' Where is this notion located in the fifth-grade class program? Unlike in sixth grade, where the notion 'habiter' appears clearly in the chapter themes in the program, in fifth grade, the notion 'habiter' is indirectly declined in the studied chapters; notably, in the following themes: Theme The demographic question and unequal development Theme Limited resources, to manage and renew Theme Preventing risks, adapting to global change. Why have we chosen this notion? What is it to inhabit? [...]
[...] More recently, Faburel and Lhomme (2024) revisited the thoughts of geographer Maurice Le Lannou by rebelling against the new urban civilization characterized by an 'exponential rate of urbanization', accusing progressive thoughts that continue to erect megastructures and swell metropolises, fueling the discussion around livability in such spaces, lamenting, as Maurice Le Lannou had described, 'the end of the inhabiting human'.
