Two agglomerations in the region appear in the latest barometer of the Arthur Loyd consulting firm on attractiveness. Dijon is fifth in the category of intermediate metropolises. Chalon-sur-Saône also fifth of the medium-sized conurbations.
Dijon is the fifth most attractive intermediate-sized metropolis, according to a ranking established by the consulting firm Arthur Loyd and unveiled at the end of November. The prefecture of Côte-d’Or is placed behind Tours, Orléans, Brest and Clermont-Ferrand. It has climbed two places compared to the 2019 edition of the barometer which distinguishes cities according to four main themes: economic performance, tertiary real estate and business reception, connectivity, human capital and innovation and quality of life.
Dijon comes first of the eighteen metropolises analyzed for quality of life. “Thanks to its culinary richness and its terroir, it is notably first for the indicator of starred restaurants The Burgundian has identified some weaknesses compared to its competitors, for example in the item of international openness where it is placed 16th out of 18. It has little connection to other European metropolises and hosts few international congresses, Arthur Loyd details in his report. But with its positioning as a connected metropolis and its OnDijon project, it has several advantages up its sleeve to continue to ensure its attractiveness. “
Chalon-sur-Saône leaves the podium
The agglomeration of Chalon-sur-Saône comes fifth in the ranking dedicated to medium-sized agglomerations, and leaves the podium where it occupied third place last year. It is behind Valence, Niort, Angoulême and Laval.
The decline is linked “mixed scores on the economy and the connectivity and innovation theme”, says Arthur Loyd. “It is within the latter that it has lost the most places, in fact, it comes last for the item of potential innovation. It is for example little covered by very high speed (49%) and does not identify any fundraising by startups in its territory. However, it remains well placed for the quality of life because it retains its second place. “
