Paris banlieue

In France, a banlieue (UK: /bɒnˈljuː/;[1] French: [bɑ̃ljø] ) is a suburb of a large city, or all its suburbs taken collectively.

Beginning in the 1970s, the term banlieue has taken on a particular connotation, becoming a popular word for economically-deprived suburbs featuring low-income housing projects (HLMs) that are home to large immigrant populations. People of foreign descent reside in what are often called poverty traps.[3]
