Résumé
The small and medium towns have for long been playing an essential role as intermediary between rural economies and populations and urban territories. Local changes as well as national and global evolutions are modifying those classical linkages through new scales of integration and the emergence of new actors. In this context, the intermediary position played by secondary towns (as market towns, districts and services poles) is changing, between strengthening and bypassing effects.
