High tech services diffusion points to a new urban hierarchy : the case of large French cities/ La diffusion des services de haute technologie et les changements de la hierarchie urbaine.

A diffusion process approach to high technology activities' dynamics represents a good indicator of changes in urban structure and national hierarchy. The case of computing services allows us to see that the development of innovative activities constitutes a crucial factor in a city's ability to change categories and acquire metropolis status or miss the opportunity and be relegated to that of an ordinary city.

Une approche basee sur les processus de diffusion des activites de haute technologie represente un bon indicateur des changements de structures urbaines et de ...
