I see this central london/central paris arguament cropping up all the time, central london is made up of the city of london, where about 12,000 people live and the city of westminster, which is the west end. neither of which are residential areas of any sort as a house on the west end would cost +5,000,000 and a house in the city of london just doesnt exist. Im not sure what the set up for central paris is but it seems to be much more residential then london.

Also when you consider the wider populations of the two cities, London has a green belt which prevents urban sprawl. This meant that urban growth had to to take place outside of the green belt area and no longer comes under the london "urban area" even tho most of the people commute into london and do their shopping in london. if you look at the metro area and consider the hundreds of satellite towns and dormatory towns londons met populations is around 13 million.

ps. does paris have a green belt system?
