Abstract: The trend towards " metropolisation " appears to be ineluctable, namely households and activity concentration in great metropolitan areas and correlative decline of small towns and rural areas. The experts' opinions (DELPHI survey) on actions related to different town levels, particularly transport measures, point out how large the gap is between what is desirable and what is likely to happen. Access to high speed networks is considered as a strong condition of urban growth. On the other hand, pricing actions are not considered effective to stop urban development of areas as Paris, logic of growth and heavy economic trends cannot be ignored.
