Urban dynamics are partly measurable in studying trade function of city-center and spatial importance of custom influence. In Chalon-sur-Saône, commercial function is specially devolved on city-center and changes in a way of specialization and quality. So city-center has become stakes of economic and politic strategies. Particularly in middle-size towns, trade influence replaces towns in their regional space, and allows to build up an urban and hierarchical network which escapes to a range-size study. In the studied region to compare it with a theoritical and gravity model brings out urban system anomalies and explains shape variations of urban influence areas. However in a region where metallurgy knows problems able to knock down local employment, it is quite out of question to cut off urban trade function — in spite of its actual strength — from local economic context. Every restrictive consequence contributes to reduce trade dynamics, along with the regional part of a middle-size town. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
