Résumé anglais Transportation and urban planning : with the example of the « metro » railways in large french provincial towns Marseilles has had a « metro » since November 1977 and Lyons since April 1978. These are two classical « métros » on tyres, set up to attract people to collective transportation by offering them an excellent means of getting at the heart of towns. The preliminary studies and administratives approaches took ten years and the construction itself only five years. In Lille, the first metro line will open in 1983 ; Lille has choses a light automatic metro, which diminishes the costs of building and running. By the end of 1978, 140 000 people used everyday the metro in Lyons and 100 000 in Marseilles. The metro has already had an influence on urban planning : thus in Lyons new pedestrian precincts were built thanks to it. In Marseilles and Lyons, real estate operations are closely linked to the metro. However, one may wonder whether the metro has been the main factor in these operations or just accelerated an inevitable movement.
