Although each goal is relevant to Paris, to address the main goals of our project, we focused on the three SDGs outlined in the image on the right. SDG 4 seeks to increase the amount of youth with “relevant skills for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship” and ensure students have the skills to promote sustainable development. SDG 10 also seeks to ”promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all” people, irrespective of race. Finally, SDG 11 seeks to create a more sustainable community, complete with more greenspaces, reduced environmental harm, and more links between all kinds of people (Sustainable development goals). FRAMING: quality education 8 France’s education system has been at the center of much negative attention. Many have overlooked the problem because France has increased its national high school graduation rate to eighty percent. However, of the large proportion of students who go to university, almost fifty percent of first years actually drop out (Bothwell, 2016). It is important that we fix this failing system by tackling the skills taught to students, because they foster intellectual capital that triggers societal growth. Non-cognitive skills are of premiere importance since they often go untaught in the French school system. The most important non-cognitive skill we found with finding one’s first job faster (Zhou, This in turn will help Paris attain SDG was perseverance, or the ability to 2016). By having students work together 4 – perseverance is a relevant skill endure challenge in the pursuit of goals. to solve problems in our program, we for employment and while working to Perseverance has been found to be a hope that they grow in these non- improve the city, students will learn strong predictor of grade point average cognitive skills that cannot be taught in how to actually promote sustainable and strong perseverance is correlated France’s traditional school settings. development in general.

FRAMING: biological analogy 11 the ACACIA TREE and ANT Compétition DiverCité links already existing resources in Paris by fostering mutualistic relationships between the students and the City of Paris. The relationship between the acacia tree and the acacia red ant inspired our solutions to the problems in Paris we outlined. These two organisms have a mutualistic relation where the red ant protects the acacia tree from harmful herbivores, insects, vines, and bacteria while the acacia tree provides food and shelter to the ants in return. They have a sustainable relationship where each population gains a necessary asset to survive (Ants Protect Acacia, 2014). Therefore, in the competition the students represent the ants, a society of little organisms that are using their skills to protect Paris, the acacia tree. Like the symbiotic relationship between the tree and the ants, by fixing issues in Paris, students are solving concrete problems in the city where they live as well as gaining invaluable non-cognitive skills. FRAMING: biological principle 12 BENEFITS FOR THE ANTS: BENEFITS FOR THE STUDENTS: In the tropics of Africa the acacia Paris provides resources for students tree provides the ants with extrafloral such as more diverse social nectaries. These are small organs on connections and methods to learn the tree (as seen in the image on the problem solving and non-cognitive right). The nectaries provide the skills. These resources are like insects with nectar, one of their nectar for the ants. The nectar drinking sources, allowing them to allows the ants to grow, just as the survive and grow (Yong, 2016). competition allows the students to develop as people. BENEFITS FOR THE ACACIA: BENEFITS FOR PARIS: The sweet nectar of the acacia The student teams will develop attracts large numbers of ants, which solutions for the city’s problems, thus in turn give the tree protection from protecting the city’s wellbeing and other harmful organisms. For future just as the ants do for the example, the ants will safeguard the tree. The ants allow the tree to grow tree by stinging giraffes (herbivores) and prosper just as the students allow should they try to eat the acacia the city to innovate and develop leaves (Gill, 2009). sustainably. CONTEXT AND AUDIENCE CONTEXT AND AUDIENCE 14 Compétition DiverCité serves two main audiences within Paris: students aged 14-17 years old as well as the general population of the city. We want to have a specific age ALL of segment as our main target so we could make a really strong impact on one group of people and affect change.

The Ile-de-France region comprises eight departments, including Paris. The other departments in the region are Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne, Val-d'Oise Essonne, Yvelines and Seine-et-Marne (OSI 84). The Parisian suburbs make up the areas with the highest proportion of Muslims in France. According to a 1999 census, 1,611,008 immigrants live in the Ile-de-France region. Of this figure, 466,608 are from the Maghreb, 238,984 from Sub-Saharan Africa, and 50,125 from Turkey. These three groups of immigrant populations comprise nearly 50% of the immigration population in the Ile-de-France region. Accurate data on the large numbers of immigrant descendants and children are unavailable (OSI 84). The North-African population lives predominantly in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Yvelines, and Val-de-Marne. Immigrants with Sub-Saharan origins mostly reside in the city center - in particular, the 18th, 19th, and 20th arrondissement and in three suburban cities: Bobigny in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, Vitry-sur-Seine in the Val de Marne department, and Cergy in the Val-d'Oise department (OSI 84-85). The arrival of the first waves of Muslim immigrants coincided with alterations of Parisian living conditions. While many arrived to shanty-towns on the city's limits, later housing often lacked running water, and sanitary facilities.

  • Bonjour Paris: Zoku Expands in France
    Amsterdam, 25 February 2020 BONJOUR PARIS: ZOKU EXPANDS IN FRANCE Zoku continues its international roll-out as it announces its first property in Paris. The award-winning Dutch hospitality brand Zoku announces its arrival in Paris, France, with the new Zoku scheduled to open in 2021. The new property will be located in the up-and-coming 19th Arrondissement, in the Claude Bernard-MacDonald-Rosa Parks area. Situated adjacent to the RER station Rosa Parks, the new Zoku is less than 10 minutes from Gare du Nord by metro. Zoku will be part of a mixed-use development called ‘Îlot Fertile’, combining hotel, residential and office facilities in a garden city block. Îlot Fertile is the largest-scale urban renewal project in the city, which is transforming the area from its industrial past into a comfortable, green and connected neighbourhood to live, work and play. Developed by Linkcity, a Bouygues Construction division, this sustainable project will result in a zero-carbon neighborhood - contributing to the urban sustainability goals, which the City of Paris aims to achieve by 2050. Zoku became part of the ‘Îlot Fertile’ development after winning the Reinventer Paris competition launched by the City of Paris. This was due to its innovative design, forward-thinking concept and commitment to social and environmental sustainability, as one of the few Certified B Corporations in the hospitality industry. The building will accommodate 129 Zoku Lofts, which are spread over seven floors. The much-loved Social Spaces will take an expansive new form on the first floor of the building, opening onto a stunning outdoor patio with extensive greenery and a Pétanque court.

  • The Demographic Impacts of the Sieges of Paris, 1870–1871
    Denis COGNEAU and Lionel KESZTENBAUM The Demographic Impacts of the Sieges of Paris, 1870–1871 Foreword What Victor Hugo memorably called ‘l’Année terrible’ [The Terrible Year or The Year of Horrors], from August 1870 to July 1871, was marked above all in the imagination of the Western world by the two dramatic sieges of Paris. The first was by the German army, from September 1870 to January 1871, to force the surrender of the French Government of National Defence, and then by the French army during April and May 1871, to crush the popular insurrection known as the Paris Commune. Recent history had witnessed other sieges, a feature of conventional war throughout the ages. Only a few years before, there had been the siege of Vicksburg (1863), during the American Civil War; the siege of Delhi (1857), during the Indian Mutiny; and the siege of Sebastopol (1854–1855), during the Crimean War. Some of Europe’s historic cities had suffered sieges; for example, Venice and Rome in the aftermath of the 1848 revolutions, and Warsaw in 1831. The ‘Année terrible’ also saw major sieges of Strasbourg and Belfort. Nevertheless, the two sieges of Paris were traumatic and sensational as no others had been. First, because it was Paris: one of Europe’s most populous cities, its leading cultural centre, the main focus of international tourism, and the historic capital of one of its most powerful states. To many observers, it was scandalous that such a city should be the target of military attack, which threatened cultural treasures of world significance as well as the lives of a large civilian population.
