The lack of suburban sprawl in France In 1965, when French demographers projected that Paris' metro population would rise from 9 million to 15 million in about 30 years, the government built five villes nouvelles, or new cities. Just outside the dense suburban ring encircling Paris, a scene unfolds that is extraordinary to most visitors from America's major cities: Development abruptly ends and the French countryside begins, complete with postcard-perfect farmhouses, green pastures, villages and rural roads lined by ancient trees. In the USA, where people are abandoning closer-in suburbs for more remote areas, where subdivisions, office parks and shopping centers are eating up farmland, the struggle to rein in relentless development farther away from cities is intense. bicycleuniverse.info /transpo/sprawl-paris.html   (328 words)

Metropole Paris - Shopping Around Noël To get the equivalent in Paris, I would have to criss-cross the city looking for undeveloped islands; but in Saint-Germain I can get nearly all of it in an hour on foot. In fact, this area has nearly no history and later I see from my big map that it is all labelled 'section en travail.' In a little over 100 years it is gone from countryside to workers' housing to a target of 21st-century real estate speculation. It is a prosperous town and its advantages over Paris are that it is small and it has no glass and steel buildings in its centre - which means it looks like a well-kept-up older town. www.wfi.fr /metropole/backissues/71215250/shop250.html   (328 words)

RER - Unipedia Line A is formed from the connection of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye line, originally part of the St Lazare network, on a new alignment from Nanterre through La Défense and the new stations of Auber (at the time of its construction the largest underground station in the world) and Châtelet-Les-Halles in the heart of Paris. This was to be extended further westwards to join with the Saint-Germain-en-Laye line at Nanterre; this line, the oldest in France, was re-electrified using an overhead system (it had originally been electrified using third rail). The extension to the Gare de Lyon joined up the existing Vincennes line (Bastille to Boissy-Saint-Léger), completing the original line A. A branch of line A from Vincennes to Marne-la-Vallée was newly built. www.unipedia.info /RER.html   (756 words)
