Paris Centre
Paris Centre is an administrative division of Paris encompassing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th arrondissements of the city. In August 2016, ministers Jean-Michel Baylet, Bernard Cazeneuve and Estelle Grelier proposed reforms to the territorial division of Paris. The law was passed by the Senate in November and the National Assembly in February 2017. The reform grouped the first four arrondissements in political terms. Demographic changes meant that they had previously been overrepresented by over 20% in the city council in terms of population per seat, but the new entity had 101,764 inhabitants and eight seats, making it one seat per 12,720 inhabitants, 7% underrepresentation. In October 2018, a postal referendum was held for the 66,791 registered voters in the territory, to choose a name. Paris Centre got 56.7% of the votes, Cœur de Paris (Heart of Paris) 31.8%, Paris 1234 got 9% and Premiers arrondissements de Paris (First arrondissements of Paris) got 2.5%. When asked where th ...

In local government, a city hall, town hall, civic centre (in the UK or Australia), guildhall, or a municipal building (in the Philippines), is the chief administrative building of a city, town, or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, county or shire, and of the executive arm of the municipality (if one exists distinctly from the council). By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or "hall") formed an integral part of the building housing the council.

The terms "council chambers", "municipal building" or variants may be used locally in preference t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
