L’Atelier parisien d’urbanisme a publié un atlas qui explore les transformations récentes de Paris, mettant en lumière la diversité de sa population et son aménagement urbain. Avec des données sur la population, les revenus, et la mixité résidentielle, l’ouvrage illustre comment les Parisiens cohabitent malgré des inégalités marquées. L’atlas, qui propose 150 cartes inédites, aborde divers thèmes, y compris l’impact du réchauffement climatique et l’évolution des transports. En outre, il examine des aspects quotidiens comme la répartition des animaux de compagnie et la densité des commerces. Paris, tout en étant une capitale touristique, doit faire face à des défis environnementaux et sociaux, mais continue d’attirer des millions de visiteurs chaque année.
