Retail decline in France's small and medium-sized cities over four decades. Evidences from a multi-level analysis

“…For the period 1979-1988, our results confirm the work of Delobez and Péron (1991) which showed that city centres lost their retail monopoly in the 1980s, but maintained their supremacy over suburban and outlying areas. This situation did not persist into the following periods: from the beginning of the 2000s, the retail decline of city centres reported by Razemon (2016), Grimmeau and Wayens (2016) for Belgium, by Portas (2011) in England, or by various authors (Arata, 2012;Tsujii 2013;Yakushiji & Takahashi, 2013) and national surveys from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in Japan, is confirmed here.…”

“…In Belgium for instance, the number of small businesses fell from 370,000 in 1947 to 191,000 in 2015, a drop of 48 %. In terms of shopping space, small businesses are now playing a minor role in retail activity, as they represented less than 49 % of the total retailing surface area in 2014, compared with more than 59 % in 2007 (Grimmeau & Wayens, 2016). These trends are similar to those found internationally, although the intensity and pace of change may vary (Portas, 2011).…”

“…In recent years, the decline of retailing in urban centres and high streets has been observed in many countries e.g. Great Britain (Portas, 2011;Hallsworth & Coca-Stefaniak, 2018), Belgium (Grimmeau & Wayens, 2016), France (Madry, 2016), North America (Rao & Summers, 2016;Kickert & Vom Hofe, 2018) or Japan (Arata, 2012;Kudo, Kimura, Nozaki, & Ueda, 2012;Katayama, Kawasaki & Taniguchi, 2019). It is reflected in particular by the fall in the number of shops, the decrease in the diversity of supply and the increase in shop vacancies.…”

Représenter les temporalités : outils et méthodes pour saisir les phénomènes de vacance commerciale

“…L'apparition des friches commerciales devient importante ; une expression désigne ces bâtiments abandonnés : les dead malls.
