Abstract:
During the nineties, the localisation of employment and population, as well as commuting trends within the Ile-de-France region, have significantly changed. The relationship between the town centre and its outskirts has developed, challenging therefore the relevance of an interpretation of Ile-de-France based solely on a radioconcentric approach. New towns, which started to emerge in the sixties, have largely contributed to this phenomenon. Various studies have addressed their contribution to the changing nature of territorial dynamics. However, their inner workings were little studied for a long time; this is the framework of our research. Aside from having the initial purpose of reorganizing the Paris region, for their planners, new towns were also meant to be real towns. In order to analyse the development of Francilian organisation and to overcome difficulties relating to the use of the term town when describing new towns, we have adopted the notion of population catchment areas for our research. In the eighties, the emergence of this notion in the field of urban research and planning underlined the changes that had impacted territorial dynamics. It also highlighted the quest for appropriate wording to reflect these urban trends. In our view, forty years following their inception, new towns have since become population catchment areas. Based on the assumption that residential mobility and daily mobility contribute to the creation of a population catchment area and underscore a rooted settlement process, we chose to analyse inhabitants' mobility. Our field of study focuses on the new town of Marne-la-Vallée.
