Recent transformations in the French urban system

Denise Pumain

Résumé

Evolution in the socioeconomic characteristics of the 138 largest urban areas in France between 1954 and 1975 consists of three trends, interpreted in this article according to their incidence on the structure of the urban system. The most important includes the changes which have equally affected all urban agglomerations, and provoked a translation of the system without changing its form. The other two trends regroup differential changes: one has increased the likeness of the urban areas' profiles by reducing the functional specialisations based on the geographical concentration of sectors of activity; the other has introduced a new segregation in socioeconomic urban structures, between "growth centres" and "peripheral" nuclei.
