Abstract

[eng] Cities and systems of cities in the economical framework . Cities have a specific role in economy : they collect various forms of accumulation linked with the centrality ; they allow relations between distant places, creating a dynamic complementarity of resources and competition for innovation. The assessment of this « urban added value » in economic growth is difficult. The analysis of the urban costs and the main processes of their financing allow to foresee its extent. This special issue of the Revue d’économie financière precisely highlights such an analysis. . JEL classification : R12 [fre] Les villes ont un rôle spécifique dans l’économie, par les diverses formes d’accumulation qui s’y expriment en rapport avec la centralité, et surtout par les relations qu’elles établissent entre des lieux éloignés, dans une dynamique de complémentarité des ressources et de concurrence pour l’innovation. La mesure de cette valeur ajoutée urbaine à la production des richesses est difficile. On en devine toutefois l’ampleur à travers l’analyse des coûts urbains et des principaux processus de leur financement, que ce numéro spécial de la Revue d’économie financière a le mérite d’éclairer très précisément. . Classification JEL : R12
