Description and Table of Contents
Description
Explores the distinctiveness of Paris and compares it to contemporary urban experiences elsewhere. The authors begin by looking at the features that have made Paris a world city. There's a detailed examination of how Paris functions today, including its economic base, recent urban changes, housing and the built-up environment, Parisians and the structure of the city's neighborhoods. Of particular interest is a chapter in which the voices of Parisians themselves "speak" as they go about living their daily lives.
