Using the case of the Capitale-Nationale region (Quebec City and surrounding territory) as an example, we explore the differences between an urban core and its adjacent rural areas in terms of SBS development. In this region as in many others, services in general and SBS in particular are concentrated in the metropolitan zone and are poorly represented in the rural areas. Such a situation, which replicates the differences in the level of industrialization, is detrimental to the development of rural areas.
