With a population of 12,262,544 in 2019, or nearly 19% of France's total population, the City of Paris serves as the regional hub for the Île-de-France, often known as the Paris Region. This makes the region France's capital. The highest GDP in Europe for the Paris region in 2019 was €739 billion ($743 billion). [8] Paris tied with Singapore for the second-highest cost of living in the world in 2021, only behind Tel Aviv, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit Worldwide Cost of Living Survey.

 

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures, the International Energy Agency, the International Federation for Human Rights, the OECD, the OECD Development Centre, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, the European Space Agency, the European Banking Authority, and the European Securities and Markets Authority are among the numerous United Nations organisations with offices in Paris.

Paris is home to the rugby union team Stade Français and the football team Paris Saint-Germain. The 80,000-seat Stade de France, constructed for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is situated in the neighbouring commune of Saint-Denis, just north of Paris. On the red clay of Roland Garros, Paris holds the yearly French Open Grand Slam tennis competition.

Directions

A sophisticated national and, with air travel, international transportation system is centred in Paris. A complex plan of streets and broad boulevards that were laid up in their existing locations in the 19th century has the modern system placed on it. At a more local level, it is covered with a thick mesh of bus, tram, and metro service networks. It is the hub of a web of roads and railroads on a national scale.

Given that it is a city that grew 'naturally' around highways heading to suburban and farther-off locations, Paris is renowned for the non-linearity of its street map. Centuries of this population increase left the city crowded, maze-like, and unhygienic, until Georges-Eugène Haussmann oversaw an urban reconstruction in the late 19th century that gave rise to the wide boulevards we see there today. Up until the 1970s and the development of cross-city, this was mostly unchanged.

More recently, the city started making improvements to give public transportation systems priority. As a result, it has narrowed the lanes designated for cars and delivery trucks and created "purpose" lanes for buses, taxis, and most recently, cycling. Although this traffic adjustment lessens traffic flow within the city proper, it frequently causes traffic congestion at the capital's gateway thoroughfares.
