The rapid transformation of metropolitan areas involves the development of new employment patterns which are modifying the traditional relations between the downtown and the suburbs. The spatial concentration of high-order economic activities in suburban centres is creating a structure and a dynamic that are very different from those of the past. Recent evidence of the generalized dispersion of employment has lead researchers to question the relevance of the polycentric model of metropolitan form that had been seen as the replacement of the monocentric model. Is polycerrtricity simply a transitory phase on the way to dispersion ? An analysis of the spatial distribution of employment in the four largest Canadian metropolitan areas, and its changes over the period 1981-1996, enables us to examine these issues, and to consider the extent to which political and cultural factors play a role in the emergence of these new models of metropolitan organisation.
