surrounding suburbs, belt, suburban ring I've got but what is the difference with "proche banlieue" ? These are office building locations. Are they not different ways of saying the same thing or est-ce que qqchose m'échappe...

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Jan 30, 2002:
Question ok, but which would then be the "greater metro area" ? The proche banlieue (inner) ?
Non-ProZ.com Jan 30, 2002:
Clarification all I really need to know is if there is a difference between "surrounding suburbs" and "inner suburbs"

inner-ring suburbs / first ring suburbs

Première couronne qualifie la banlieue située sur le pourtour même du périphérique intérieur, alors que la proche banlieue peut se trouver plus excentrée.
L'expression anglaise correspondante à première couronne semble être inner-ring suburbs, ou first-ring suburbs.

A propos de votre clarification: inner suburbs est une définition plus précise qui fait référence à un pourtour géographique bien délimité (frontières de l\'agglomération, voie de ceinture) alors que surrounding suburbs est plus vague et ne repose que sur une notion indéfinie de proximité.

I'm afraid this depends on the city planning. Paris used to

have the "ceinture", for example, but since then, other ring-type motorways have been constructed, giving rise to a distinction between the city centre, what's inside the ceinture, and what else is inside the larger circles. One possible translation (in some cities) is "Greater (London, for example) and suburbs".

The \"Greater Metropolitan Area\" would necessarily be inner, the suburbs outside.

first-ring suburbs

I agree with Vbaby, but just wanted to add a few references I'd found.

Hope this is of some use.

Good luck!

* La première couronne abrite des quartiers résidentiels de la première génération qui sont habités par les classes laborieuses. Lorsqu’ils sont dégradés, il s’y forme des ghettos ethniques et sociaux.


* Les autres couronnes correspondent à une extension toujours plus spectaculaire des banlieues, nommées " suburbs " aux USA et qui abritent aujourd’hui la moitié de la pop. Celles-ci sont très diverses socialement (essentiellement les classes moyennes mais aussi les catégories les plus aisées dans les CID, à l’extrême périphérie) . Elles ont une fonction essentiellement résidentielles mais il s’y développe de plus en plus des activités de service et de nouveaux centres d’activités.

In an odd twist, Boston has enjoyed relative prosperity compared with some of the first-ring suburbs grappling with decline, the report says. Although its school system still struggles, Boston has become a popular place to live among young professionals and retiring baby boomers.


The inner-ring suburbs generally cannot benefit from the revival of interest in city living that has led to the prosperity of Boston, Orfield noted.

These "first-ring suburbs" once defined the outer edge of the metropolis. But now they're far from the affluent edge and are considered too close to the central city and its problems. They usually lack the tax base and political clout to deal with the social problems unexpectedly thrust upon them.
