The site of dreams and nightmares, from Van Goghs paintings to the cinematic violence of <em>La Haine</em>, the Zone, so often misun- derstood, is the key to understanding todays Paris, and even France itself.</p><p>Originally the site of defensive walls, alongside which mushroomed makeshift housing, allotments, and dancehalls in the nineteenth century, the Zone has performed many functions and been a place of contention for two centuries. Dismantled in the 1920s, the fortifications were first replaced with gardens, stadia and homes. After the war came the Boulevard P?riph?rique, a ring road promising seamless travel in a futuristic car-centric Paris. With the ring road came new dreams of modernity in reinvented suburbs: new towns, high-rise architecture and social housing built at record speed. Yesterdays Paris made way for tomorrows banlieue.</p><p>But the metropolitan dream was never realised. The Zone became a symbol of division: between inner and outer cities; between the bourgeois centre and the working-class immigrant outskirts; between us and them. The Zone, both a physical space and a powerful myth, came to crystallise the social, spatial and ethno-racial differences between Paris and the banlieue.</p><p><em>The Zone</em> is a brilliant anatomy of the true heart of Paris. An essential book for urbanists and historians.</p>...4756521The Zone211257https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-zone-9781804294062/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4571297/image.jpg?v=638545818707800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781804294062_W3siaWQiOiI1ZGE3Njk0Yy01NGY5LTQwYmQtYjM0Yy1iZGY3MGU5YjAxZWEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI2MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjYwLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwMCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781804294062_<p>In <em>The Zone</em>, Justinien Tribillon takes the reader on a tour of an eponymous Parisian hinterland.
