  • Lyon, European City of the Future ? 2019 FOREWORD
    Why invest in Lyon, European city of the future ? 2019 FOREWORD A historic year for Lyon’s commercial real estate markets In 2018, the combined take-up of light industrial premises and logistics warehouses in the Lyon market exceeded 820,000 m² and confirmed Lyon as one of the most dynamic industrial markets in Europe. The office take-up in 2018 also hit the historic market record of 331 700 m². The volume has never been so high, and the number of transactions exceeded the 600 mark for the first time. Investment volumes are also impressive with more than Laurent Vallas 1.5 billion euros invested in the Lyon commercial real estate market in 2018. JLL Head of JLL Lyon Lyon is also one of the most dynamic European cities in terms of business and leisure tourism. Voted “Europe’s leading City Break Destination” in 2016, Lyon has been incluted in the New York Times’ prestigious annual international selection of “52 Places to Go” in 2019. It is not a surprise that the hotel market has never been so flourishing with more than five million hotel nights sold in 2018. Finally, Lyon remains one of the most sought-after cities in France for the retail market, a trend that has been enhanced by the new openings in the Grolée-Carnot sector and the spectacular conversion of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu (16 000 m² of retail and restaurant space), a vibrant venue for a new kind of retailing with a resolute focus on the growing interest in “shopping as an experience”.

Objective: Based on the quadruple helix model, the aim of this study was to construct and analyze the structure and content of the internet information sources regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, considering time and space. The broader goal was to determine the status and limitations of web information transmission and online communication structure during public health emergencies. Methods: By sorting the second top-level domain, we divided the structure of network information sources into four levels: government, educational organizations, companies, and nonprofit organizations. We analyzed the structure of information sources and the evolution of information content at each stage using quadruple helix and network analysis methods. Results: The results of the structural analysis indicated that the online sources of information in Asia were more diverse than those in other regions in February 2020.
