  "In it for the money": rap and business cultures in France Popular Music and Society - Find Articles
An aspect in which the influence of the so-called "banlieue culture" has been noticeable, in France as well as in the United States, is encountered in the impact that rappers' fashions and behavior have had on the clothing patterns of French youngsters as well as on their attitudinizing.
It should be kept in mind that the word banlieue existed in French before it came to be seen as a negative and "loaded" term in social and sociological studies in France.
Today, the banlieue is seen as an area where immigrants live, sometimes in poor economic conditions, with a clear disdain for the French cultural, social, and economic environment (Almanach banlieue).

 Movie Review | Banlieue 13 (2004) Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle
Besson's "Banlieue 13" ("Suburb 13") is parts "Escape from New York" and a stunt demo reel for stars David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli; but most of all, Belle, who performs the film's more death-defying moves with inspiring precision and ease.
One such area is Banlieue 13, where good Samaritan Leito (David Belle, last seen as "French cop" in Brian DePalma's "Femme Fatale") robs from the gangs and dumps their drugs down the toilet.
For a movie written by Luc Besson, "Banlieue 13" is a bit of a disappointment in the story department, but it's nothing you couldn't forgive once the kicking and punching springs back to the fore.

 Banlieue 13
Crime has spiraled so out of control that the government has entirely given up on certain neighborhoods and walled them in, content to let lawlessness reign there as long as it is contained and cannot spill over to Paris proper.
When Leito succeeds in capturing Taha and bringing him to the border police he is betrayed by them: not only do they refuse to take Taha in, fearing violent reprisal from the mob outside their door, but they imprison Leito and give Taha Leito's sister.
Banlieue succeeds were earlier parkour themed films Yamakasi and Les Fils Du Vent fell flat for a number of reasons.

 Les Années banlieues
The banlieue was originally an area of around one league outside the fortified wall of a city and which was subject that city's legal jurisdiction.
The banlieues really began to grow in the nineteenth century and this rapid growth was directly related to their earlier role, that is to say, as sites for certain the agricultural, industrial and commercial activities central to the economic life of the city.
The image of les banlieues rouges stands in sharp opposition to that of the present-day banlieues: les banlieues rouges were the places where impoverished but struggling communities were engaged in a collective fight to improve their living conditions.

 Banlieue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A banlieue can be rich or poor: as an example, Versailles, Le Vésinet, Orsay and Neuilly-sur-Seine are affluent banlieues of Paris, and Clichy-sous-Bois is a poor one.
Since the 1970s and 1980s, the word banlieue has been increasingly used as a euphemism to describe low-income housing projects in which mainly French of foreign decent or foreign immigrants reside, especially around Paris, but also some other large French cities.
Recently coined terms used in politics, sociology, and the French media to describe banlieues with high levels of poverty, violence and drug trafficking include zones urbaines sensibles ("sensitive urban areas") and quartiers dits sensibles ("neighbourhoods deemed sensitive").

 Banlieue- Suburbs
En France, banlieue a pris une connotation négative dès les 70 car ce sont là ou ont été crées les villes nouvelles quand il n' y avait plus de place dans la région proche de Paris (Cergy, Evry, Saint Quentin en font partie).
Generally in the US, the homes in the city are mostly apartments because of the scarcity of land and homes in the suburbs are nicer houses with lawns.
I think that the equivalence between 'inner-city' in the US and 'banlieue' comes from a fundamental difference between the two cultures in the 'spirit of community' and in the relation of the individual with 'the others', with society.

 Banlieue - Wikipédia
Étymologiquement, la banlieue désignait le territoire situé dans un rayon d'un lieu autour de la ville et qui était soumis au « ban », c'est-à-dire à la juridiction de la dite-ville.
On remarque que dans ces banlieues, le niveau de vie est souvent(?) nettement inférieur.

 District B13 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
District B13 (District 13 in the UK) is the title of the English-subtitled release of a 2004 French action film, Banlieue 13, directed by Pierre Morel and produced by Luc Besson.
The film is notable for its depiction of parkour in a number of stunt sequences that were completed without the use of wires or computer generated effects.
The riots and car burnings received worldwide press attention and were seen by many as an expression of anger and hopelessness from the primarily Arab and fl residents of the city's poorer areas.

 Diana Johnstone: Rage in the Banlieue
If public funding for social activities in the banlieue had not been cut back by the current government in favor of a single-minded emphasis on "security", things might be slightly better.
This provides a second reason for him to be hated by youth in the banlieue, where identification with the Palestinians is widespread and daily images of violence in the Middle East and the war in Iraq have a considerable impact.
The banlieue is not really an isolated world, European countries are more tightly packed than the United States, and there is not enough room for riots to go on without bothering society as a whole.
