draw/pull/lure (of the big city)

Explication :
Attracteurs is a strange word choice; I guess it refers to the appeal of the big city (vibrant night life, employment, subcultures, specialized jobs/industries, etc).

Thought of maybe adding "factors" to the mix: pull factors, draw factors.

I used 'draw', 'lure' and 'attraction'. Difficult to attribute points here, but I felt Wolf deserved them for taking me in the right direction.

Notes au répondeur

Demandeur : Why use "attracteur" when "attraction" exists in French? I had been thinking on the line of "pull factors", but it doesn't fit.

Demandeur : I see this word as similar to "acteurs"

attractivities

Explication :
This is a term used in town planning contexts and, as a quick internet search will show, widely misused on badly translated websites where the non-native speaker translator failed to realise that it is a technical term.

Demandeur : I have often seen this in a tourism context, but it is usually rendered by the word 'attractivité' in French
