Economic geography
Spatial planning, urban and transport policies, regional and urban economics
The Paris region, which covers barely 2.5% of mainland France, hosts 20% of its population and produces more than 30% of its gross domestic product. Labor productivity is also higher than elsewhere, as the average monthly net salary of a French worker is about 2750€, 28% more than the French average outside Paris. This strong Parisian leadership raises concerns and boosts the debate on the pseudo-growth of spatial inequalities. This economic geography course aims to understand what drives the concentration of economic activities in a few leading poles, the economic mechanisms driving spatial inequalities, and to analyze regional and urban policies that are likely to revitalize depleting regions or urban neighborhoods.
