Urban decay, grim and projects in northern Paris

They're not showing up. Take a look at the image posting guide stickied at the top of the Tests thread.

I see that you're trying to put the image tag on the page before the actual photo page at Flickr.

Some of those buildings look like they just got out of WWII.

Awesome set. :D
|
Finally, some Parisian ghetto...
Welcome, le Charbonneur ! Keep bringing the motherfucking ghetto if you will, that's good for everybody here. Quote:

But they're close enough to central Paris to be saved, seriously redeveloped sometime. |

^ Ah, they're the worst in that regard in the Paris urban area and maybe the worst in entire France, but I think they're yet okay compared to the US average crime rates that are still really bad (murder-wise if you see what I mean), but the US will get better and better.

Note that many of these areas have planned redevopement.
It is just take long times to begin works, to relocate the inhabitants and to clean up the soils of the area. Some were former heavy industrial district and soils are still highly polluted. There is also the issues with the building owners. Most of the residential buildings with walled windows will be demolished soon to build modern buildings. If the entries and windows are walled, it is to avoid squatting, a very common thing in a city that lack of housing like Paris. Quote:
Look at the population of the muncipalities that we see in the pictures, many are today more populated than their former peak in 1968. Saint-Denis 1968: 99 268 1999: 85 832 2010: 106 785 Saint-Ouen 1968: 48 886 1999: 39 722 2010: 47 189 Aubervilliers 1968: 73 695 1999: 63 136 2010: 76 087 Pantin 1968: 47 607 1975: 42 739 (unlike other the low was in 1975 for Pantin) 2010: 54 136 For the economy as I wrote previously, it was former industrial district, infact it was one of the heart of industrial Paris. Paris area since the 1970's shifted from an heavy industrial city to a service based city. The today economic reality of those areas is not bleak as it was twenty year ago What Le Charbonais don't show is that near many of these pictures, there are many offices building recently built or under in construction because of a proximity with Central Paris, tranportation and cheap land. Saint-Denis has more than recovered the number of jobs it lost since the 1970's but there is still plenty of former industrial wasteland. Quote:

Thanks!

Great tour. But damn, this is rough. Not even the fringe commieblock districts in Berlin looks like this. This reminds me of exploring some hood African area on the outskirts of Paris last year. I was taking pictures and a group of sub-Saharan black dudes came out of nowhere and were, like, "EYYY! EYY, BRO!!"
|
Grim but very interesting. Thanks!
|
Ah the northen suburbs of Paris in all their glory !
I remember when I moved to Paris six years ago being quite surprised, if not shocked, by the level of urban decay in the inner suburbs (Saint-Denis, Villeneuve-la-Garenne, Gennevilliers). I didn't expect that. Quote:
