Smart city is the next step and the logical continuation of the concept of sustainable city as it builds on digital tools to reinvent the way the think of urban development. Designed as a response to the ever-growing urbanization and looming threat of climate change, they provide digital tools and practices with the help of data gathered through a network of connected devices via wireless technology and the cloud. Marseilles at the top

The Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis topped the ranking of the most advanced smart city in France in 2019 with a total of ** points, most notably thanks to the number of contracts and the diversity and maturity of those projects. The Grand Paris Metropolis and the Lyon Metropolis came in second and third place with ** and ** points, respectively. It is no surprise that Marseilles is also the French city with the highest number of ** antennas.

A multi-faceted innovation

This new way of thinking urban development revolves around several industries such as energy management, telecommunications (**), smart mobility (smart cars, smart parking) and extends to peripheral sectors such as transport management, road safety as well as infrastructures with concepts such as smart homes.

The catchment area of a city is a group of municipalities, of a single enclave and enclave, which defines the extent of the influence of a cluster of population and employment on the surrounding municipalities, this influence being measured by the intensity of commuting to work.

Urban area zoning follows the zoning into urban areas in 2010.

An area consists of a pole and a crown.

— Poles are determined mainly on the basis of density and total population criteria, using a methodology consistent with that of the municipal density grid. A threshold of jobs is added in order to prevent essentially residential municipalities with few jobs from being considered poles. Within the pole, the most populous commune is called the center commune. If a pole sends at least 15 % of its assets to work in another pole of the same level, the two poles are associated and together form the heart of a catchment area. — Municipalities that send at least 15 % of their assets to work in the pole are the crown of the area.

The definition of the largest catchment areas of cities is consistent with the definition of “cities” and “functional urban areas” used by Eurostat and the OECD to analyse the functioning of cities. Zoning into catchment areas thus facilitates international comparisons and makes it possible to visualise the influence in France of major foreign cities. For example, seven areas have a town located abroad (Bâle, Charleroi, Geneva, Lausanne, Luxembourg, Monaco and Saarbrücken).

The areas are classified according to the total number of inhabitants of the area in 2017. The main thresholds selected are: Paris, 700,000 inhabitants, 200,000 inhabitants and 50,000 inhabitants. Areas whose pole is located abroad are classified in the category corresponding to their total population (French and foreign).

Urban catchment areas, dated 2020, were constructed with reference to commuting known in the 2016 Census.

Downloadable files provide the characteristics of the city’s catchment areas (size slice, number of municipalities) and the municipal composition of the city’s catchment areas.

The purported spatial segregation of Muslim populations in Western Europe constitutes a longstanding policy and scholarly concern, yet little spatial data exists for purposes of empirical study. The MAPISLAM dataset is a research effort aimed at bridging this gap for the French empirical context. MAPISLAM is a spatial dataset built from publicly available, online repositories of addresses for places of interest destined to the Muslim communities of France’s major cities.

Spatial dataset related to urban areas, street network and some central poles of cities and towns in northern France identified on the maps of the Etat-Major.
