Antoine Haumont, Claude Bauhain : Some characteristics of French towns of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
What are the consequences of the distribution of economic activities for the groups which constitute urban society ? Do these consequences vary with the size of the town ? We have answered these questions by examining 93 French towns or agglomerations, with more than 50,000 inhabitants in 1962. For each urban unit, 79 factors were gathered, demography, growth, the division of the active population by economic sectors and by socio-professional categories, education, housing and votes. These 79 variables were the object of a factor analysis and each city was graded in each factor. ? In the agglomerations, the first six factors count for 70% of the variance. In order of importance they are: economic activity and socio-professional categories, age groups and types of families, the work of women votes, migrations and urban growth, size and density of the population. The examination of these factors and the factor scores led to a classification of cities based on socio-professional groups and growth, this classification also took into account, age groups and working women. ? In French provincial towns, following these criteria, there are 20 industrial-worker towns, 27 tertiary non-worker towns (divided into middle class towns and white-collar towns) and 25 towns in an intermediary situation. The situation of surburban towns is different. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
