Résumé
Over the past years, a major trend of communal mergers has led to the reorganisation of this level of administration. By studying the characteristics of the cities concerned, this paper highlights their diversity both in terms of socio-economic profile and population dynamics by using the different components of the urban area zoning classification. Our analysis points to the heterogeneity within communes nouvelles and their consequent lack of coherence as experienced by individuals in their daily lives. These communes nouvelles are mostly secondary centres that only partly provide for daily uses. Finally, by comparing communes that merged with similar entities, we were able to uncover important contrasts in terms of financial potential and socio-economic profiles, both between communes themselves and between the communes and the scale of administration they are being compared with.
