Abstract

[fre] La Nouvelle économie géographique consacre la métropole comme « locomotive de la croissance économique ». L’espace devient un facteur crucial de la croissance du fait de l’existence d’économies d’agglomération minimisant les coûts de transaction. La littérature académique se partage désormais entre ces deux seuls thèmes que sont, d’une part, la « métropolisation » et les facteurs de son efficacité et, d’autre part, la « fracture socio-spatiale ». Cet article aborde ainsi les deux grandes questions que pose cette littérature : (1) cette thèse permet-elle de rendre compte des mécanismes et des orientations actuels du développement territorial ? (2) Si ce n’est pas le cas, y a-t-il d’autres facteurs expliquant l’évolution observée ? . Classification JEL : R12, R23, R5 [eng] Cities : a critical factor of regional development ? . New economic geography presents cities as « a driving force behind economic growth ». The land use becomes a critical factor of economic growth due to agglomeration economies that minimize transactions cost. Academic literature focuses on two main topics which are, on one hand, « urban development » and factors of its efficiency and, on the other hand, « socio-spatial divisions ». So, this article deals with the two main questions raised by this economic geography literature : (1) does this thesis explain actual mechanisms and orientations of territorial development ? (2) If not, does other factors exist and explain the noticed evolution ? . JEL classification : R12, R23, R5
