ABSTRACT

The relocation of the Parisian industries to the suburbs began in earnest since 1860 that a part of the outside towns was annexed into the districts of Paris and the suburbs started the growth. During the economic crisis(1870-1890), the enterprises moved out of Paris to open factories in the suburban areas, and the deindustrialization of Paris was a growing trend. After 1900 the number of the companies was reduced in the districts of Paris and in every industry field. During the interwar period, the industrialization finished, while Paris became a city of service and no more city of the industry. The elements that assist the transference of the companies were various: relatively inexpensive price of land in the suburbs, the development of railroad and canal, the exemption from octroi for the outside towns of Paris. In addition, the urban policy in the department of Seine that tried to drive the factories and the workers out of Paris, impose the industries into making a transfer to the suburb. Because the economic crisis was more harsh in Paris than in the suburbs, the crisis also promoted the deindustrialization of Paris.
