CityNeighborhoods Paris Gets Its Permanent Home
After a period of development and transition across several temporary web addresses, the Paris project has arrived at the domain that was always the natural destination for it. From this point forward, cityneighborhoods.paris is the permanent home of CityNeighborhoods Paris.
The move represents more than a change of address. CityNeighborhoods Paris has grown into an independent, city-focused project with its own structure, identity, maps, photography, and approach to understanding Paris. The site explores the city through multiple overlapping civic and cultural systems: its 20 arrondissements, 80 quartiers administratifs, neighborhood councils, the two banks of the Seine, and the cultural neighborhoods whose identities often transcend formal administrative boundaries.
That layered approach distinguishes CityNeighborhoods Paris from both the original New York project and CityNeighborhoods Worldwide. All three share the same underlying CityNeighborhoods philosophy—sustained attention to place through photography, geography, history, mapping, and firsthand exploration—but each now has a distinct purpose and permanent home of its own.
CityNeighborhoods.NYC remains the comprehensive neighborhood-by-neighborhood record of New York City.
CityNeighborhoods.World follows cities, sites, countries, and connections across the wider world.
And CityNeighborhoods.Paris is devoted specifically and independently to Paris: not simply its famous landmarks or visitor destinations, but the geographic structures, neighborhoods, streets, histories, and lived environments that make the city what it is.
The new domain also marks the beginning of a more stable chapter for the project. The architecture is now in place. The focus can return where it belongs: walking, photographing, researching, mapping, writing, and continuing to build a deeper record of Paris over time.
CityNeighborhoods Paris began as an extension of an idea first developed in New York. It has since become something distinctly its own.
Its permanent home is now exactly where it should be:
