THE CARTOGRAPHIES OF PARIS
Every act of mapping is also an act of interpretation. Cartographies of Paris gathers the city’s form through maps that reveal Paris not as a single flat image, but as a layered civic and cultural landscape: arrondissements, administrative quarters, neighborhood councils, cultural neighborhoods, and the two banks of the Seine. These maps are meant to orient, compare, clarify, and invite exploration, showing how each Paris neighborhood belongs to larger systems of geography, history, identity, memory, and urban life. Together, they form a visual atlas of CityNeighborhoods Paris — a place to see the city’s layers at once, then follow them deeper into the streets, districts, and stories they contain.
