Many immigrants make their way to France, but they are supposed to claim asylum in the first eu country they get to, but they want to be in northern europe, so go to france to get into Britain, so they set up these big tented camps on the coast of calais until they can smuggle themselves into Britain, this has been happening for years and years, it was only after lots of pressure from the British government that France eventually closed the camps. The same thing happens to France aswell, where immigrants want to live in France, so travel through the Mediterranean to get there. This obviously still happens today, when asylum seekers don't want to claim asylum in the first eu country that they get to, so travel to Northern Europe first, then claim asylum there
This has exactely nothing to do with Italy having a net migration of + 311,658 in 2013.

Shiro, your comments get stranger and stranger.

The UK isn't the US. I guess it doesn't "count" as a foreign country, in your estimation, but to most of the world, it does.

And what are your excuses for all the other foreign-born cabinet members? Afghanistan, Belgium and the Czech Republic aren't "real" foreign countries in your esteemed judgment?

That's a very healthy immigration number for Italy, it is most likely professional people who go to Italy for better job prospects and better quality of life, untrained illegal immigrants have different needs, the racist golden dawn party in Greece, a group of thugs that have somehow attained legitimate political power, in any Northern European country they would be in jail, shows there is real anti immigrant sentiment in southern europe

So Italy isn't a "less welcoming" country and it isn't a "more welcoming" country? No, like usual, you got caught with no argument.

Yeah, how crazy of me to mention North Africa in the context of Italian immigration. Obviously North Africa has absolutely nothing to do with Italian in-migration!

What an odd and obviously wrong point. Geography is obviously related to immigration trends.

You think it's random coincidence that U.S. has more Mexican immigrants than Turkish immigrants, or that the top three immigrant groups to Italy are from Romania, Albania, and Morocco?

A comparison of the City of Munich and a territory of the same land area in Lyon, based on the results of the 2011 French and German censuses.



Evolution of the population since 1841. Until 1871, Lyon was nearly twice more populated than Munich, then after 1871 Munich grew tremendously and passed Lyon shortly before 1910. By 2011, the City of Munich was 16% more populated than the corresponding territory in Lyon.



The metropolitan area of Munich compared to a territory of the same size around Lyon:



Evolution of the population since 1871:

Lyon city core is much denser and more urban than that of Munich, though.

I imagine Munich to have a greater population in the same area because the urbanity extends outward much more than Lyon. Munich is a bigger city, and looks like it.

Both cities have roughly the same size. Lyon extends a lot outward too.

I posted those pictures of the suburbs of Lyon some months ago on another forum. They show the big suburban belt surrounding Lyon.















Wealthy people live in the hilly Western suburban belt (where they have blocked for more than 30 years the construction of the Western motorway bypass of Lyon):












Approaching Central Lyon:




Central Lyon, larger than Central Munich (in 1800, Lyon had 114,000 inhabitants, whereas Munich had only 41,000 inhabitants):




Unlike Munich, the Medieval heart of Lyon was not bombed during WW2:

Here are the results of the Jan. 2011 French census released 2 weeks ago for the urban areas of overseas France (except Nouméa and Papeete which have separate censuses). The figures refer strictly to urban areas, not metropolitan areas.

I'm listing the 8 largest urban areas in overseas France, with their populations at the 2011 census, and their yearly population growth between the 2006 and 2011 censuses. As you can see, the situations are quite contrasted. Some urban areas are booming, while other urban areas are either stagnating or experiencing population decline.

Note that the maps are not at the same scale.

1- Saint-Denis (Réunion): 175,309 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(+0.75% per year since 2006)


2- Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe): 171,529 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(+0.21% per year since 2006)


3- Fort-de-France (Martinique): 168,101 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(-0.59% per year since 2006)


4- Nouméa (New Caledonia): 163,723 inhabitants (in Aug. 2009)
(+2.44% per year since 1996)


5- Saint-Pierre (Réunion): 155,354 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(+1.48% per year since 2006)


6- Papeete (French Polynesia): 133,627 inhabitants (in Aug. 2012)
(+0.29% per year since 2007)


7- Cayenne (French Guiana): 106,358 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(+1.18% per year since 2006)
[/QUOTE]

8- Saint-Paul (Réunion): 103,916 inhabitants (in Jan. 2011)
(+0.91% per year since 2006)

It's done! The Constitutional Council of France has just approved in its entirety the bill creating the Greater Paris Metropolis!! The bill should now be signed by the president in the coming days (perhaps before the end of the week) and become law.

The Greater Paris Metropolis (Métropole du Grand Paris in French) will officially come into existence on January 1, 2016. It will absorb at least 124 presently independent communes (which will remain in existence, but will be under the authority of the Greater Paris Metropolis), with a population of at least 6.7 million inhabitants. Some more communes can join before the autumn of 2014, so we will know the exact territory and population of the Greater Paris Metropolis only next autumn, but the figures I'm giving here are the minimum figures (if no other commune joined).

It's the greatest day in the administrative history of Paris since the act of 1859 which enlarged the city of Paris by absorbing the then suburbs of the city!

This map shows the minimum extent possible of the Greater Paris Metropolis (more communes may join before the autumn of 2014), with its 124 communes. In green are parks, woods, and airports. In pale yellow are built-up and industrial areas.



Satellite view showing the north-western border of the Greater Paris Metropolis (minimum extent). As you can see, many dense suburbs are still lying beyond the borders of the future Greater Paris Metropolis:

What's the maximum extent Greater Paris can get to? and what would you guesstimate it will become?

According to the bill, the maximum extent is the extent I've shown on the map plus all the communes which share a border with this minimum perimeter (i.e. all the communes which border the red line on my map). If all these communes decided to joined, then the Greater Paris metropolis would be made up of 170 communes, and its population would be 7.7 millions inhabitants.

It is however probable that a majority of these communes will NOT join the Greater Paris Metropolis, for fear of becoming a small voice in a big assembly, and of losing too many powers. So probably only a few communes beyond the red line will join, but I do not know how many. Answer by the Autumn of next year!

In the future, however, the French government may redraw the borders of the Greater Paris Metropolis after realizing it's stupid to cut the suburbs in half. Even worse, they've cut CDG airport and Orly airport in half (half of each of these airports will be inside the Greater Paris Metropolis, and half outside of it). More and more voices are saying that the borders are stupid and should have been drawn much further out. So hopefully they will redraw them in the future.

Minimum size: 762 km²
Maximum size: 1,158 km²
Exact size will be known by the Autumn of next year.

There will be a metropolitan council (conseil de la métropole du Grand Paris) made up of representatives from the communes (each commune will have from 1 to 5 representatives in the council, depending on the size of their population, except the City of Paris which will have 90 councilors in the council; in total the metropolitan council will be made up of 337 councilors at its minimum extent, i.e. 124 communes).

Above the metropolitan council there will be the president of the Greater Paris metropolitan council (président du conseil de la métropole du Grand Paris). He will be a little bit what the Mayor of London is to Greater London. Unlike in London, he won't be elected by the citizens but instead he will be elected by the councilors in the metropolitan council, who themselves won't be elected but will be appointed by the municipal councils of the communes, who are elected by the citizens in the municipal elections.

As you can see, it's a very undemocratic organization for a structure that will manage the urban issues of 7 million people. The deputies in the National Assembly voted in favor of having half of the metropolitan councilors elected directly by the citizens in 2020 (there will be municipal elections in 2014 and 2020), but the Senators rejected it. After a complicated back and forth, I see that the latest version of the bill which should be signed by the president in the coming days says that the government must present a report to the parliament regarding the direct election of the metropolitan councilors by 2015, and a law organizing the direct election of the metropolitan councilors must be passed in parliament before Jan. 1, 2017.

At this point it is unclear how many of the metropolitan councilors will be directly elected by the citizens from 2020 onwards (half of them? all of them?). It will probably be a matter of debate until the end of 2016. What's certain is from Jan. 1, 2016 to the municipal elections in March 2020, the metropolitan council of Greater Paris will be made up of unelected councilors appointed by the municipal councils of the communes making up the Greater Paris Metropolis, with the City of Paris sending 90 councilors to the metropolitan council (all of them from the majority party I suppose, so if the Socialist-Green-Communist coalition wins the municipal elections of the City of Paris in March 2014 by 50.01%, the 90 representatives of the City of Paris from Jan. 1, 2016 to March 2020 will nonetheless be 100% Socialist-Green-Communist).

To make things even worse, it is unclear at this point whether the Mayor of Paris could also be President of the Greater Paris metropolitan council. The recently passed law banning politicians from holding 2 executive offices at the same time seems to indicate that he/she couldn't. So we would end up with 3 different persons representing Paris: the Mayor of Paris (probably Socialist Anne Hidalgo), the President of the Greater Paris metropolitan council (either Socialist Jean-Marie Le Guen or Socialist Claude Bartolone, as things are shaping up), and the President of the Paris Region (Île-de-France), currently Socialist Jean-Paul Huchon, but perhaps center-right Valérie Pécresse after the regional elections in 2015. Valérie Pécresse, by the way, the center-right opposition leader in the regional council, is opposed to the Greater Paris Metropolis. She says it's the Paris Region that should be the metropolitan structure for Paris.

French politics.

It's surprising to hear that a socialist will probably win the paris election, after the damage they've caused to the French economy, I thought a conservative might be elected, that's what Paris and France needs right now

Based on the recently published results of the 2011 French and German censuses, here is a comparison of the age structure in the largest French and German metropolitan areas.

For France, the results of the metro areas will be published only in July. What we have now is only the results of the departments. Here I've used the departments which correspond the best to the largest French metro areas. Note that this may lead to some statistical bias in a few cases (for example the metro area of Bordeaux would have relatively more young people than the department of Gironde, because Gironde includes some coastal resorts full of retirees, like Arcachon, which are not part of the Bordeaux metro area; likewise, the Lyon metro area has probably relatively more children than the Rhône department, because many family-oriented suburbs of Lyon are located in the neighboring Ain department). For Germany, I'm using the metro areas that we've defined on SSC.



Population from age 0 to 14:
- Nord (Lille): 20.2% (i.e. 20.2% of the population in the Nord department were between the ages of 0 and 14 at the 2011 census)
- Paris Region (Île-de-France): 19.7%
- Rhône (Lyon): 19.0%
- Bouches-du-Rhône (Marseille): 17.9%
- Haute-Garonne (Toulouse): 17.6%
- Gironde (Bordeaux): 17.4%
- Alpes-Maritimes (Nice): 16.0%

- Stuttgart: 14.3%
- Rhine-Main: 14.0%
- Hamburg: 13.8%
- Munich: 13.8%
- Rhine-Ruhr: 13.3%
- Berlin: 12.7%
(Berlin the city without children!)

Population from age 15 to 24:
- Rhône (Lyon): 14.8%
- Haute-Garonne (Toulouse): 14.6%
- Nord (Lille): 14.2%
- Gironde (Bordeaux): 13.2%
- Paris Region (Île-de-France): 13.2%
- Bouches-du-Rhône (Marseille): 12.9%

- Stuttgart: 11.4%
- Alpes-Maritimes (Nice): 11.3%
- Rhine-Ruhr: 11.1%
- Rhine-Main: 10.7%
- Munich: 10.7%
- Hamburg: 10.6%
- Berlin: 10.1%


Population from age 25 to 49:
- Munich: 39.1%
- Berlin: 37.2%
- Hamburg: 36.9%

- Paris Region (Île-de-France): 36.6%
- Rhine-Main: 36.6%
- Stuttgart: 35.8%

- Haute-Garonne (Toulouse): 35.5%
- Rhine-Ruhr: 34.5%
- Rhône (Lyon): 34.2%
- Gironde (Bordeaux): 33.4%
- Nord (Nord): 33.2%
- Bouches-du-Rhône (Marseille): 32.6%
- Alpes-Maritimes (Nice): 31.8%


Population from age 50 to 64:
- Rhine-Ruhr: 20.2%
- Berlin: 20.1%
- Rhine-Main: 19.7%

- Gironde (Bordeaux): 19.5%
- Alpes-Maritimes (Nice): 19.2%
- Bouches-du-Rhône (Marseille): 19.1%
- Stuttgart: 19.0%
- Hamburg: 18.9%

- Nord (Lille): 18.5%
- Munich: 18.1%
- Haute-Garonne (Toulouse): 17.7%
- Paris Region (Île-de-France): 17.7%
- Rhône (Lyon): 16.9%


Population 65 y/o and older:
- Alpes-Maritimes (Nice): 21.8%
- Rhine-Ruhr: 20.8%
- Berlin: 20.0%
- Hamburg: 19.9%
- Stuttgart: 19.5%
- Rhine-Main: 19.0%
- Munich: 18.4%

- Bouches-du-Rhône (Marseille): 17.6%
- Gironde (Bordeaux): 16.5%
- Rhône (Lyon): 15.1%
- Haute-Garonne (Toulouse): 14.6%
- Nord (Lille): 13.8%
- Paris Region (Île-de-France): 12.8%
(Paris the city without old people!)

The French statistical office INSEE has published the population growth of the French departments in the year 2012. Looking at the departments which grew the most in 2012, it struck me that there appear 6 neatly defined corridors of high population growth in Metropolitan France (the European part of France).

Here on the map I have indicated those 6 corridors of high population growth in Metropolitan France, plus the 2 overseas departments which boomed in 2012 (the 3 other overseas departments had much slower growth, or even negative growth for Martinique). I've also added the population growth of the Paris Region (Île-de-France) in 2012 for comparison.

The 5 corridors in continental France are all centered on big regional metropolitan areas (Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Montpellier), plus Geneva whose high growth spills into French territory (note that the Canton of Geneva's population growth is NOT included in the figures for the Lyon-Geneva corridor). Some big French metro areas missing are Marseille, Lille, and Strasbourg, whose growth is slow, and Nice, which experienced negative population growth in 2012 (lots of retirees live in the Nice metro area, so high death rate there).



Year after year, it looks like the Lyon-Geneva-Savoy area is placing itself as the most dynamic area of France, almost unaffected by the 2008 global crisis. Lyon is in fact building new skyscrapers in its central business district (see the LYON | Incity | 170 m / 560 ft (roof) | 37 floors thread for example).

The Tour Incity will stand to the left of the chimney with the fume, taller than any skyscraper in this picture:

Thanks a lot Bris.

Concerning the Grand Paris, you said that communes should say if they wanted to integrate the Metropolis before automn 2014, but it wouldn't be possible after that moment ? Do you thinks that another enlargement would be possible thanks to politics saying that Grand Paris should be IDF in not too long?
