Introduction à l’analyse de l’espace
Au cours des années 1970, les sciences humaines, et tout particulièrement la géographie, ont connu deux bouleversements qui les ont profondément marquées. D’une part, l’essor du structuralisme au sens large, c’est-à-dire l’intérêt principal porté aux relations entre variables et phénomènes et à leurs formes. Les géographes anglo-saxons introduisirent alors la modélisation dans une discipline qui était restée encore largement descriptive, ce qui a…
Antiurbain. Origines et conséquences de l’urbaphobie
La ville, la grande ville surtout, suscite de longue date de vives condamnations. Si la Révolution industrielle fournit encore une inépuisable matière première à la détestation urbaine, Babel ou la Rome décadente avaient déjà longtemps avant participé à la construction d'un imaginaire antiurbain occidental, que les plumes talentueuses de Rousseau, Spengler, Thoreau ont contribué à propager. Alors que la majorité de la population habite désormais …
Les ennemis de Paris
Avec les Lumières, les révolutions industrielle, politique, démographique ont vu réapparaître la grande ville millionnaire. Les révolutions du XIXe siècle ont éclaté dans les rues d'un Paris qui fascinait et effrayait à la fois. Après la Commune, la peur de Paris a suscité une haine croissante dans la littérature, les discours politiques, l'action de l'État. Celui-ci, depuis Pétain, s'est donné pour tâche de réduire l'agglomération parisienne. Ce…
La haine de la ville
Paru en 1947, l'ouvrage de J.-F. Gravier, «Paris et le désert français», a inspiré la géographie et l'aménagement français depuis cinquante ans. Il en a été, en quelque sorte, la Bible. Toujours cité, rarement lu, jamais discuté, ce texte a connu un sort étrange. Il est, cependant, non seulement polémique, mais partial et très marqué politiquement : un pamphlet qui n'a rien de scientifique. De façon peu sérieuse (jeu avec les définitions, citatio…
The Emergence of Los Angeles
expenditure, we have not moved forward very far from description of phenomena. This book moves us from population head counts to income counts, but it still neglects both detail relating to demographics, socio-economic composition, employment character, and any analysis of the administrative and political interactions. It is easy to be over optimistic of the benefits of widespread international collaboration, and perhaps the editors suffer consid…
Urban Growth Models Revisited
Spatial patterns seem to be very stable in Los Angeles, the most volatile of all US metropolises. Processes suggested by the classical growth models to explain these patterns have ceased to be applicable over the last fifty years or so, and have probably never played any important role in Los Angeles. A new conceptual model is proposed to integrate the rapidity of urban change and the persistence of spatial patterns. Urban forms and their content…

On the Information Content of Regional Maps
Regionalization is one of the traditional tasks of geographers. The word means here the partitioning of a territory into quasi-homogeneous cells. For the most part, classical geographers used their intuition and very few variables to delimit regions. These variables usually were not precisely defined, nor were they measured on a broad scale; they could take only a few different values. Modern geographers use multivariate analysis under its differ…
Quantitative geography
Pedestrian Traffic Planning and the Perception of the Urban Environment
Planning pedestrian traffic in the city involves a better understanding of pedestrians' behavior and their perception of the urban environment. Lynch's (1961) studies proposed a qualitative method. An alternative method, essentially quantitative, is proposed here: pedestrians surveyed are asked to locate on a paper some well-known landmarks (six in all). Distances between each pair of them are measured. The model allows (1) interpretation of the …
Deformation of a Transportation Surface∗
Road networks in developing countries are improved unevenly. Improvements are determined more by the amount of public investment than by technological breakthroughs. Improvements make drastic changes in the distances in hours between cities. An index based on mean speed between cities and population provides a measure of the rentability of road investment. Multidimensional scaling reveals some topological properties of the network, which does not…
