Interesting that you can still see the effects of WWI in the north.
I’m reading this as housing boom in the 70’s and 80’s, Paris needs new housing, and people are moving to the west.
There's nowhere to put new housing in Paris though.
maybe on top of the old one or under!
They do have catacombs. They could build a city under the city, with multiple levrls of streets!
It's all graveyard under there though.
Paris doesn't need new housing, it just needs to keep upgrading its existing apartments :)
Otherwise yes sounds right.
Unequal bins lead me to wonder if they were cherry picked to tell a specific story. #howToLieWithMaps101
They correspond to the larger eras in French economy.
Then they should be labeled to reflect that.
1946-1970 appears to be high density housing. 20% and just small squares peppered around urban centers.
That seems to scan; perhaps it's the rebuilding of bombed cities in WW2
Makes sense, there's no more land.
For the map enthused!
