| Summary: | The “Pays de France” is an outer-urban territory, in the north of the Parisian suburbs, south of Chantilly town, and west of Roissy airport. This three urban spaces influence the periurban development, with different sorts of dynamics. The “Pays de France” is so a “buffer strip”, where each locality knows its own landscape changes. The growth of Parisian suburbs follow some major trends, threw a development of low coast residential areas. From the north, the influence of Chantilly city (“French horse capital”) progress as a front of up-market residential properties and spare-time activities. The airport zone, which represents a big employment hub, has a double influence on the “Pays de France” : some localities are growing with big activities areas ; other are “sacrificed” because of too high noise pollution. Finally, we can see several spatial trends : radial, frontal, diffusion or divide logics.
