Abstract

If the development of peri-urban commercial zones has had its good years, we can now observe that city centers and proximity are returning to the heart of commercial strategies. The marketing literature presents proximity as a polymorphous concept but always beneficial in the commercial relationship. This research proposes to investigate this concept through an ethnographic approach of the Rouen city center in order to detect its potential negative effects. The results show that proximity can sometimes generate a physical and relational distancing in the commercial relationship.
