Abstract
Paris, with a population of 2.2 million, is the capital of and largest city in France, a nation of 64.7 million (INSEE 2010a,b). Paris is regularly ranked among the great world cities, and its history, economy, culture, and iconic landmarks make it the most visited city in the world. In 2010 it was third on the Global Power City Index (IUS 2010), fourth on the Global Cities Index (Foreign Policy 2010), the seventh most livable city (Monocle 2010), and third on the World City Survey—second for quality of life and fourth for economic activity (Knight Frank 2010).
