Abstract
Paris is a global city (Sassen 1991), and has been since the nineteenth century. The 87 square kilometers that are often referred to as intramural Paris include increasingly fewer low-income residents due to the gentrification that expels to the periphery French natives and foreign immigrants who cannot pay the high rents in Europe’s cultural capital,1 a city with the elevated population density of more than twenty thousand inhabitants per square kilometer, comparable only to New York and some Asian cities.
