  The attractiveness of small and medium towns

  Criteria, issues and strategies

  The aim of the conference is to present researches dealing with the issue of attractiveness of small and medium-sized towns, by scholars and stakeholders from various backgrounds (geographers, historians, economists, sociologists, spatial planers, etc.). This conference should favour exchanges and cross-analysis between methodological and epistemological works. Furthermore, the comparison will focus on functional relationships between secondary towns and rural areas. Those surrounding areas are also changing, sometimes more depopulated, sometimes more dynamic than urban centres: what are the position of small and medium towns, as "centres", "poles", "outposts"? What remains on inherited relationships in times of mobility, in sometimes fragile contexts (due to the demographical and economic aspects)? What is their place in changing urban networks?
