Les prix des terrains sont plus élevés dans les zones urbanisées en raison de l'attractivité des nombreux équipements et emplois qu'elles accueillent. Les aires urbaines affichent une dispersion des prix croissante avec leur population. À l’intérieur des aires, la décroissance des prix est fortement liée à l’éloignement de la commune-centre. Cette décroissance peut être assez faible dans les grandes aires urbaines mais elle est parfois plus rapide, notamment dans des aires urbaines de moindre importance.
Land prices : a question of location - Prices fall with distance from an urban centre
Land prices are higher in urban areas because of the numerous amenities and possibilities for employment that such areas offer. Urban areas show price dispersion that increases with their populations. Within these areas, decrease in price is strongly linked to distance from a central municipality. The fall in prices may be quite gentle in large urban areas but it is sometimes sharper, especially in smaller urban areas.
