Lovely photos. Thanks for taking them : ) I looove Paris. These neighborhoods look like the rest of Paris city center but have less detailed buildings. The amount of trees and cleanliness is a plus though. You cant have it all I suppose.

Yeah I was wondering that too. And there is really a lack of ground floor retail/office space on some of those new buildings. Definitely not pedestrian friendly, looks like Paris isn't exempt to poor urban planning/design.

But great pics, only a couple of shots (maybe 5 or 7) showed buildings that weren't very friendly at sreet level.

Old buildings like these two old little houses (I think in two years, it will be a 7 floors residencial building here )


Or parking lot
Three years ago, where is the new office building. It was an supermaket "ATAC" with a big parking lot.


Now the supermaket "ATAC" is in this building and the parking is underground.


These new buildings replace also industrial waste land like this district.
Three years ago it was an industrial waste land



Those cities are located in the Haut de Seine or 92th departement, one of fastest growing departement of France (The fastest in economy )
The GDP per capita ppp : €62,000 or $83,300 (2003)
In France the nominal GDP is higher than the GDP ppp
It is actually the second richest departement of France and it will soon exceed the richest Paris.

The new business district, where are the largest french media groups is in the Haut de Seine.
La Defense (Paris skyscrapers district) is located in the Haut de Seine.

30% of office under in construction in Paris metro are in Haut de Seine
In october 2006 760,861 m² or 8,189,840 sq ft of office space was under in construction in the Haut de Seine
(Actually Paris metro is city wich build the most office space in Europe )

Actually the density of Montrouge is 20,386 inh/km² (52,801 inh/sq mi)

That's why the inner suburbs of Paris are Paris.
Unlike London or New York, Paris was not fusioned with its inner suburbs.


limite de departement : department border
Ceinture vert : green belt
Parc naturel regional : Regional natural reserve
Coeur d'agglomeration : core of urban area (The real size of Paris)
agglomeration central : the rest of urban area (real suburbs)
autres agglomerations : other urban areas (Include in Paris of Metro area)
espace rural : rural area

The core of urban area is the real size of the city of Paris and those municipality are inside.

The core of Paris urban area is quite dense
6,718,400 inhabitants (2005)
728 km² (282 sq mi)
9,229 inh/km². (23,902 inh/sq mi)
