Abstract En Fr

. - For quite a long while, the french scheme of urban retail distribution has been governed by the effects of centrality introducing a progressive deterioration of retail outlets from the centre towards the periphery. The retail revolution of the 70' s induced a suburban retail dynamism which for some time restricted itself to the role of a retail distribution complementing the role of the city centre. Since fifteen years, the important changes induced by the creation of pedestrian areas and the opening of big retail centres into the retail distribution system of the city centre, altogether with the alterations of suburban retail outlets, have given rise to a intricate situation of competition, thus bringing to ruin neighbourhood retail outlets.

. - Pendant longtemps le schéma français de distribution urbaine a été dominé par l'effet de centrante qui induisait une dégradation progressive de la desserte commerciale du centre vers la périphérie. La révolution commerciale des années 70 correspond à l'émergence d'un dynamisme commercial périphérique qui s'est un moment cantonné dans une distribution complémentaire du centre-ville. Depuis quinze années, les bouleversements apportés au commerce de centre-ville par la création de zones piétonnières et de centres commerciaux, et les transformations du commerce périphérique, conduisent à une situation confuse de concurrence sur la ruine du commerce de proximité.
