Urban district

“La zone” describes the ghettos that were built around 1950 in the undeveloped suburbs of Paris and are mainly inhabited by immigrants. They came into being when, in addition to French provincials, North Africans, Italians and Portuguese came to France to work in the construction industry. Despite their salaries, many could not find apartments and therefore had to live in tents, barracks, in dirt, without running water or heating. Some of the “zones” still exist before Paris, but the reason today is more the poverty of the immigrants, who, especially when they come illegally from Africa, have little chance of normal work.
