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.
