Services aux entreprises, centralité et multipolarisation. Le cas de Lyon

Revue d'économie régionale et urbaine, 2002, vol. juillet, issue 3, 397-422

Abstract: This paper deals with the intrametropolitan location strategies of business services. These activities are traditionnaly highly concentrated in the centre. Recent studies show however that they tend to peripherise and that they can be part of the multipolarisation process. The empirical work consists in an analysis of the urban area of Lyon. The results show that business services contribute to restructure the economic basis of the centre and allow it to continue to ensure a spécifie rôle within the metropolitan area. In parallel, these activities tend to locate in the periphery but in a very selective way. They participate to the multipolarisation of the metropolitan area of Lyon, which articulates around a strong centre not « edge cities » but very specialised, non hierarchical and largely complementary poles. Classification JEL : R11, R12, R39.
