immigration, housing, social infrastructure, public utilities,
suburban development, and zoning—has produced the vast
urban agglomeration.

Paris – The Urban Organism

17. Paris – The Urban Organism
(continued)
+ There are two dimensions to Paris, organism. There is the physical city, the
continuous urban development that INSEE calls the “Unité Urbaine”.
+ The labour and housing market, or metropolitan area, is the functional or
economic city.
+ In 1861, 250,000 people lived in the suburbs of the built-up urban area, but
outside the “Ville de Paris.”
+ Today, the number of sub-urbanites has grown to more than 8.5 million.
+ In 1861, about 80% of the physical city was in the “Ville de Paris.”

18. Paris – The Urban Organism
(continued)
+ In 2014, the Paris “Unité Urbaine” has 10.7 million
residents in 1,050 square miles (2,845 square kilometers)
+ Paris has a population density of 10,100 per square mile
(3,900 per square kilometer) This is below London, but
less dense than Madrid and Milan.

19. Paris – The Urban Organism
(continued)
+ The Paris metropolitan area covers 6,620 square miles, or 17,145
square miles.
+ In recent years, the metropolitan area has expanded to the outside,
and now includes parts of six additional departments.
+ The “Métropole du Grand Paris” is composed of the “Ville de Paris”
and 130 additional municipalities.
+ It has a population of 7.1 million, but excludes more than 3.5 million
residents in 281 urban communes.

21. Paris – The Organic City
+ The evolution of Paris, which unlike its long-time competitor
London, has been allowed to continue its development.
+ The result is an organic whole that has been able to accept
modernity, stretching like so many others, from a dense historic
core to the comparatively dense automobile oriented suburbs
where the vast majority of the people live.

22. Suburbs
