Manhattan (27,490 / km2) has a higher population density than Paris (25,460 / km2).

The point that you don't need high-rises for density still stands, of course.

Thanks for the exact number. I'm still trying to dig up GDP numbers to compare as well...

Re: PN (4.00 / 2)

New York Gross Metropolitan Product: $1.2tn.

Paris Region GDP: $731bn.

I'm a bit surprised by how low London in. Only about $669bn.

Thanks (none / 0)

but that's not the numbers I'm looking for - just Paris (the inside-the-ring city) vs Manhattan.

Re: Thanks (none / 0)

Right, I posted another comment below my original. I don't think we calculate output for Manhattan alone, since it's only one borough of the city. You could probably find Paris somewhere, but I couldn't get ahold of it.

Re: PN (none / 0)

...adding: Those are obviously not comparisons between Paris and Manhattan but rather the two metro areas. I don't see actual statistics for either the Paris city limits or Manhattan.

Re: PN (none / 1)

Well, administratively, Manhattan = New York County and Paris = the 75 département (and the city), so it should be easy to find data for both deep down the bowels of our respective statistical administrations...
