La premi{\`e}re partie pr{\'e}sente une micro-histoire des relations et des {\'e}changes de capital social, {\'e}conomique et symbolique dans un quartier sp{\'e}cifique, fond{\'e}e sur une source exceptionnelle. La seconde partie examine les relations entre la vie de quartier et la gestion municipale.

L?influence des voisinages dans ces domaines {\'e}tait li{\'e}e {\`a} leur r{\^o}le financier, un r{\^o}le qui devenait plus important quand les revenus fiscaux de la ville diminuaient (la deuxi{\`e}me moiti{\'e} du XVIIesi{\`e}cle), que dans des p{\'e}riodes de prosp{\'e}rit{\'e} relative.



This article studies the relations between urban magistrate and neighbourhood organisations in Ghent in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The first part presents a micro history of the relations and exchanges of social, economic and symbolic capital in one specific neighbourhood, based on an exceptional source.The second part examines the relations between neigbourhood life and urban politics.The article stresses the process of negociation and reciprocal appropriation between town and neighbourhoods, and describes the active and selective participation of the latter in the formation of local politics concerning the regulation of urban space, the policing of the streets, social policy towards the poor and the settlement of small conflicts. The influence of the neighbourhoods in these fields was linked to their financial role, which became more important when the fiscal revenues of the town decreased (in the second half of the seventeenth century) then in times of relative prosperity.
