Firstly there are no major parks on the scale of central park in Paris (bois de bologne and vincennes are outside the city limits).

Second, Paris just has a larger share by area of residential than manhattan does...Manhattan contains most of the urban area's office space...whereas in Paris huge concentrations like la defense are outside of the city limits.

The daytime population of Manhattan is 3.9 million, I wonder what the same figure would be for Paris.
I think you've managed to create a post with at least 4-5 distinct suppositions, each of which is either factually incorrect or where the facts don't support the point. Congrats.
