| contents | On poles and centers: Cities in the French Style Lise Bourdeau-Lepage Jean-Marie Huriot Estudios Territoriales City center Urban sprawl French cities Employment poles The multicentric city is an oversimplified view of the contemporarycity. The term center covers a multi-faceted reality. A centeris not only a concentration of activities. It also means domination,power, creation and interaction. Consequently, the secondarycenters do not necessarily replicate the main center and they areclearly differentiated. We define the pole as a concentration ofactivities, whatever their nature, and the center as a concentrationof high-order and strategic activities, so that the so-calledmulticentric cities may be both multipolar and monocentric. Thissuggests what we call the Multipolar-Monocentric hypothesis.The paper sets out theoretical foundations of the pole-center distinction,and shows that the Multipolar-Monocentric hypothesisis supported by the spatial pattern and the specialization ofemployment clusters in a sample of large French cities. 2005 artículo científico 1697-6223 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50400302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=504 Urban Public Economics Review application/pdf Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Urban Public Economics Review (España) Num.3 |
