Metropolitanization and territorial scales
AbstractThe process of metropolitanization does not conform to the predominant view of urban growth. It is closely related to selective concentrations of activities and jobs and to social polarization and spatial fragmentation. It is primarily associated with very large cities. In this paper, we suggest that the process may exist according to various territorial scales: worldwide, local and regional scales. We provide an analytical framework for regional metropolitanization applied to Bordeaux city and its labor market. We examine where the process of metropolitanization operates by using an approach based on the major components of the labor market (supply and demand). The results indicate that the metropolitanization process generates centrality effects, a specific density distribution of advertised jobs and of job seekers. The process also leads to rigidity in the labor market that varies according to time and distance from the city-center and the qualifications of the labor force. The existence of segmented markets enlightens the territorial benchmarks of the process of metropolitanization.
