Résumé anglais Over the last fifty years the growth of towns and cities has been characterised by the outward extension of the urban area and by its increased fragmentation and lower densities. These features are largely explained by the fact that as the distance of journeys has increased so too have travel speeds. However, if land prices represent a major factor of social différenciation in high- density urban areas, and if in periurban zones, even if land is abundant, segregation is still a feature, it is not possible to claim that access to rapid transit systems in the Ile-de-France region is a discriminatory factor. It cannot be shown either that faster journey times benefit only the more affluent members of society. From a social perspective, transport systems, through the density of their networks, have been able to compensate part of the discrimination induced by land prices. Geographically, due to shorter journey times, they hace helped to neutralise part of the "distance effect" related to périurbanisation.
