Französisch Begriff oder Satz: activités secondaires et tertiaires
Describing an urban development zone:

Il s'agit d'une zone à vocation d’activités secondaires et tertiaires. Habitation interdite à titre principal.

I am familiar with the services sector as being referred to as "tertiaire", but any suggestions for "secondaire"? Thank you!

secondary and tertiary...
Erklärung:
..yes, same answer but while the good doctor is right, it's for the wrong reason.
Economic activity is traditionally divided into primary, secondary and tertiary.
Primary = agriculture and extraction of raw materials (mining etc.)
Secondary = the conversion of raw mats into finished product, i.e. a fancy way of saying "manufacturing"
tertiary = activity producing nothing tangible (e.g. services)

Voila!

I was looking for a decent ref to back this up, but all I could find without spending eons is this:

The description in my original answer was vaguely remembered from Economics studies over 20 years ago - clearly the tertiary definition needs work - after all, I guess we're tertiary and we certainly produce tangible stuff, so p'raps I'd safest stick with "services" and not be a smart-**** :-)

Anyway, basically means they can do anything on that land except farming, logging, mining, quarrying and the like :-)

Zustimmung xxxsarahl: services is tertiaire, Charlie. they came up with these categories at the turn of the century, 1 and 2 were big, 3 was a catchall of sorts.

  -> indeed, as per my added note and the ref therein. By turn of the century, I presume you mean 105 years ago, not 5 :-)
