La mutation des emplois hautement qualifiés dans l'agglomération transfrontalière strasbourgeoise ( The mutation of highly qualified labour in the border agglomeration of Strasbourg)

摘要

In the last decade the agglomeration of Strasbourg has continually expanded and confirmed its importance as a salient pole in European science and technology. Parallel to the economic spread in certain districts and surroundings of Strasbourg, the economic and social situation has dramatically aggravated in other parts of the agglomeration. Similar to the large cities in the United States, there are also in Strasbourg parallel societies which develop completely disconnected from each other. At the edge of the urban perimeter, surrounded by good situated quarters of the city centre and the wealthy suburban communities, a gradually closing belt of underprivileged districts is emerging. Despite of their immediate proximity to areas of growth, these districts are in reality largely disconnected to the overall very positive economic and social development. They risk falling into a complete functional and economic insignificance.
