Megacities without Global Functions.

2007

Present urban evolution is characterized by two major phenomena. On the one hand, the number of very large cities, the megacities, increases dramatically, especially in the less developed countries (LDCs). On the other hand, globalization leads to the emergence of cities coordinating complex and global economic activities, the global cities, especially in the more developed countries (MDCs). So, the two phenomena are diverging. A number of megacities do not exhibit any global function.The global performances of megacities are well correlated with their degree of economic development. But it is worth wondering why economic underdevelopment is consistent with urban growth but not with city gl…

L'idée de région et le fait urbain The idea of region and the urban fact

2009

Bien que la region soit un concept multiforme, voire omniforme, le decoupage regional est le cadre privilegie de la pensee spatiale et de l'action territoriale. Or la moitie des etre humains du monde, et plus des trois quarts des europeens, habitent dans une ville. Les villes produisent plus que proportionnellement a leur poids demographique, et concentrent les activites economiques de haut niveau, particulierement la production de haute technologie, les sieges sociaux, la finance et les services aux entreprises. Dans l'economie globalisee, les performances regionales semblent etre soumises a celles des villes, et les interactions economiques regionales, nationales et mondiales sont princip…

La ville, la raison et le rêve : entre théorie et utopie

1996

City, reason and dream : between theory and utopia. — This paper aims at comparing two kinds of discourses about the city, that of the microeconomics of cities, which is admitted in the realm of science, and that of Utopian cities, which is not. We analyse the processes of thinking which lead respectively to theory and utopia, then we compare the ideas of man and society upon which they are grounded. Finaly, we try to enhance the similarities and disimilarities between the two series of urban space representations to which these approaches lead. This comparison may contribute to a better understanding of the real nature of the theoretical discourse and lead both to a relativization and a va…

Modéliser la suburbanisation

2002

L’histoire de la suburbanisation de la population et de l’emploi, principalement aux Etats-Unis, permet d’identifier trois caracteristiques du phenomene. 1/ La suburbanisation se traduit par un etalement urbain tel que population et emploi s’accroissent plus en peripherie qu’au centre. 2/ La suburbanisation fait emerger de nouvelles concentrations d’activites dans la peripherie des villes-centres et donne naissance a des structures urbaines multicentriques. 3/ La suburbanisation differencie les contenus et les fonctions economiques des centres et recompose les centralites urbaines. Dans ce cadre, la suburbanisation se presente selon des modalites differentes selon les epoques et les regions…

The metropolis in retrospect : from the trading metropolis to the global metropolis.

2005

SummaryMetropolization is not a new phenomenon: metropolises have been around for centuries. The prime and permanent function of a metropolis is the coordination of economic activities at a world scale. This function has been applied to different activities in history, depending on technological conditions and economic organization, and consequently it generated different forms of metropolises. The resulting continuities and discontinuities in the metropolises' evolution can be understood in terms of agglomeration economies. In the pre-industrial period, the trading metropolis coordinates long range trade. The industrial revolutions generate new needs for coordination of production and give…

Centre et périphérie fondements et critères

1995

The concept of center is considered as one of the most important in spatial economy and in geography. The dualism center - periphery is mentioned in most varied contexts and even with most various meanings. The aim of this article is to bring the foundations of this inseparable couple to light. The idea of center, as in geometry, evokes first a privileged position. But a center is also a place of strong concentration of population, economicactivities, culture and authorities. The structure center - periphery created by a combination of the two preceding criteria is source of inequalities, asymmetries, polarization and domination. But the dualism center - periphery is too reducing. It is nec…

Local Interactions and the Global City Metropolization in Warsaw

2002

A number of the world's large cities are taking on increasing economic importance in the international arenas because they concentrate high-order activities This metropolization process is a result of the changes occurring in the emerging post-industrial economy, i.e. the rise of services and information. It is based on the combination of proximity interactions and global interactions and it is characterized both by a specific internal spatial pattern and by a large outside area of influence. Since the transition period, services, and particularly high-order services, have grown more rapidly in Poland than in EU countries, as if a catching-up process has been underway. A large part of these…

Metropolises stability vs. change

2003

In everyday language and even in some scientific work, the term “metropolis” evokes nothing more than a very large city, a focus for all that is good — and bad — about urban life. The vast literature on metropolises and metropolization, especially in Europe over the last 20 years, shows that things are anything but straightforward. Population alone is probably not a necessary condition and obviously not a sufficient condition to characterize a metropolis. Somany phenomena are associated with this term that, like Lacour (1999), we may wonder whether this diversity is evidence of just how rich or just how poor the concept is. Producing a meaningful definition is indeed a challenge (...)

La distance en analyse spatiale : une approche axiomique

1985

L'analyse spatiale met en lumière des processus d'interdépendance où ladistance joue un rôle explicatif fondamental. Une large partie de l'analyse spatiale est consacrée à l'étude de la forme de la relation entre les phénomènes économiques et sociaux observés et la distance à des lieux privilégiés, et aux variations de cette relation. Or cette forme est en partie conditionnée par la représentation de l'espace qu'on se donne, donc par la représentation de la distance dans cet espace. La littérature offre un certain nombre de spécifications analytiques de la distance entre deux lieux repérés par leurs coordonnées, par exemple la distance euclidienne, longtemps privilégiée, et plus récemment l…

Utopie, égalité et liberté : l'impossible idéal

2012

The purpose of this article is to derive the logical but unexpected consequences in terms of social justice, of the presuppositions on utopian constructions. In the conditions generally in effect in urban utopias which lay claim to a certain amount of social justice combining equality, fairness and liberty in different ways, equality is likely to interfere with liberty, even create inequalities, and liberty can adapt to inequalities, perhaps even create losses of liberty. Thus, the illusory perfection of Utopia is exposed. Analysis of the mechanisms and operating conditions of urban utopias, which have appeared recurringly especially since the Renaissance, makes it possible to show how the …

Rente foncière et modèles de production

1980

L'analyse économique considère habituellement que les terres donnent naissance à des rentes différentielles parce qu'elles présentent des fertilités naturelles différentes ou parce que leurs localisations offrent des situations variables par rapport à des lieux d'attraction. Cette proposition bien connue m'amène à formuler plusieurs observations. (1). On attribue généralement l'étude de la rente de fertilité à RICARDO et celle de la rente de situation à VON THÜNEN. Cela est vrai mais incomplet, car les deux analyses sont présentes chez RICARDO (1815) comme chez VON THUNEN. Mais seul ce dernier a tiré les conséquences formelles de l'analyse de la rente de situation. Quoiqu'il en soit, cette …

On poles and centers: Cities in the French style

2005

International audience; The “multicentric city” is an oversimplified view of the contemporary city. The term “center” covers a multi-faceted reality. A center is not only a concentration of activities. It also means domination,power, creation and interaction. Consequently, the “secondary centers” do not necessarily replicate the main center and they are clearly differentiated. We define the “pole” as a concentration ofactivities, whatever their nature, and the “center” as a concentration of high-order and strategic activities, so that the so-called multicentric cities may be both multipolar and monocentric. This suggests what we call the Multipolar-Monocentric hypothesis.The paper sets out …

Journey to the Centre of Europe

1998

De nombreuses institutions locales utilisent, dans de véritables opérations de marketing territorial, une analogie entre centre géographique et centre géométrique du cercle pour valoriser leur localisation. Il s'agit là d'une conception particulière et étroite d'une idée plus riche et plus insaisissable. Le concept de centre est une construction économique et sociale mais il repose sur certains principes consensuels : l'accessibilité, la concentration,l'inégalité, la relativité spatiale et temporelle et la subjectivité compte tenu de sa dimension symbolique. Définir un centre c'est d'abord borner un sous espace de référence. Représenter le centre économique par le centre d'un cercle nécessi…

La ville abstraite : une analyse des représentations théoriques de la ville

1995

Par le terme générique de ville abstraite, nous désignons les représentations de la ville sur lesquelles s'appuie un discours théorique, économique, géographique ou social, positif ou normatif, ou qui sont l'objet d'un tel discours. Ces représentations sont des constructions mentales conscientes réalisées dans le but explicite de donner du sens à la ville, c'est-à-dire de n'en retenir que certains éléments jugés significatifs pour ce que l'on veut démontrer. Nous distinguons ce type de représentation de deux autres que nous ne traitons pas. La première est celle de la ville perçue. C'est une représentation mentale qui se construit dans l'esprit de l'individu qui se localise, vit dans la vil…

Economic theory and space : a reconciliation

1997

Malgré des apports importants au XIXe siècle et dans la première moitié du XXe et en dépit des efforts de l'après guerre, l’économie spatiale est longtemps restée un domaine marginal par rapport au corpus principal de la théorie économique. L’attachement aux hypothèses de concurrence pure et de rendements non croissants explique en grande partie cette séparation. Depuis quelques années, on assiste, dans le cadre de l'Economie géographique, à un mouvement d’intégration dont le moteur principal est la reconnaissance et l’exploitation des rendements croissants comme explication de la formation de l’espace économique. Ce papier présente un panorama de 25 années d’économie spatiale en soulignant…

Définir la ville

1996

The city can hardly be grasped by a simple definition. Most of the available definitions are statistical or descriptive and they fail to represent the complex, multidimensional and changing nature of the urban phenomenon. The definition proposed in this paper is related to economic theory of city formation and is based on the agglomeration process and the diversity of agents and activities.

How information shapes cities : theory and facts

1999

The primary aim of this paper is to show that « information matters » in shaping space and cities. This statement has both theoretical and empirical foundations. Theoretical reasoning, especially on the basis of economic geography modelling, is able to provide consistent and realistic explanations for the agglomeration of information using activities including producer services and R&D. Empirical testing of these models raises a number of methodological problems. Nevertheless, many empirical studies have been conducted into the local character of the diffusion of tacit information. Over the last ten years, much progress has been made, and initial difficulties are progressively being overcom…

Réalité qualitative et analyse économique spatiale

1991

Les termes qualitatif et quantitatif ne s’opposent pas. Ils caractérisent des approches du réel ni antinomiques, ni exclusives. Ils entretiennent des relations très complexes que nous essaierons de simplifier. A quel propos faut-il parler de qualitatif et de quantitatif ? Faut-il situer le problème au niveau de la nature de ce qu'on observe (les phénomènes), au niveau de la façon dont on agit (la politique) ou au niveau de la manière dont on essaie de comprendre la réalité (méthodes d'analyse)? Nous avons délibérément écarté les deux premiers niveaux pour nous consacrer à l'examen du qualitatif dans les méthodes d'analyse de la science régionale. La première section est consacrée à une tent…
