Le Mans : centre commerçant. Recherches sur l'extension du centre commerçant et ses activités caractéristiques

摘要

In the first part, the description of the shopping centre of Le Mans is established by the shop-windows continuity and the following consolidation of the streets ; then the street is a shopping « landscape ». The second part, founded on the retail trade specialization of the sectors previously described, leads to the identification of a hypercentre, the dominant specializations of which are : fashion, shoes, jewellerie, chemistry and perfumes. On the outskirts of this hypercentre the specialization is developed for the benefit of restaurants and leisure activities.
