Demographics of ParisThe population of the city of Paris was 2,234,105 at the 2009 census, lower than its historical peak of 2.9 million in1921. The city's population loss mirrors the experience of most other core cities in the developed world that havenot expanded their boundaries. The principal factors in the process are a significant decline in household size, and adramatic migration of residents to the suburbs between 1962 and 1975.Factors in the migration include deindustrialisation , high rent, the gentrification of many inner quarters, thetransformation of living space into offices, and greater affluence among working families. The city's population losswas one of the most severe among international municipalities and the largest for any that had achieved more than2,000,000 residents. These losses are generally seen as negative for the city; the city administration is trying toreverse them with some success, as the population estimate of July 2004 showed a population increase for the firsttime since 1954, reaching a total of 2,144,700 inhabitants, which reached 2,234,000 by 2009.[11/27/2014 Presented By Soumen Sarkar 4 5.

History Of Paris:The history of Paris, France, spans over 10,000 years, during which time the city grew from asmall mesolithic settlement to the largest city and capital of France. It further developed into a center of art,medicine, science, fashion, tourism, high culture and high finance, becoming one of the world's mostinfluential global cities.In 2006 French researchers digging near rue Henri-Farman in the 15th arrondissement, not far from the left bankof the Seine, discovered the oldest traces of human habitation in Paris, an encampment of hunter-gatherersdating to between 9800 and 7500 BC. Other traces of temporary settlements were found at Bercy in 1991, datingfrom around 45004200 BC. The excavations at Bercy found the fragments of three wooden canoes used byfishermen on the Seine, the oldest dating to 4800-4300 BC. They are now on display at the CarnavaletMuseum. Excavations at the rue Henri-Farman site found traces of settlements from the middleNeolithic period(4200-3500 BC); the early Bronze Age (3500-1500 BC); and the first Iron Age (800-500 BC). The archaeologistsfound ceramics, animal bone fragments, and pieces of polished axes. Hatchets made in eastern Europe werefound at the Neolithic site in Bercy, showing that first Parisians were already trading with settlements in otherparts of Europe.11/27/2014 Presented By Soumen Sarkar 6 7.
