Abstract: | This article examines the relationships between the employment suburbanisation from central cities towards their suburbs,
and the process of intra-urban specialisation that occurred simultaneously in the fifty largest French metropolitan areas.
A methodology is proposed to identify urban subcentres and to analyse the effects of the intra-urban specialisations on suburbanisation
patterns. We conclude that the specialisation of both subcentres and central cities has a significant effect on suburbanisation
rates. Lastly, an intra-metropolitan shift/share analysis provides additional insights into the employment dynamics of central
cities and suburbs during the last twenty years.
