First of all, is it really a problem or an advantage? If France wanted to increase the population of its other cities, what should it do? What can and not move from Paris?

On one hand I feel like regions should have tax autonomy to attract businesses and easier housing policy, but the state could also play a part like moving institutions. Take Montpellier, its one of the fastest growing cities in France, the weather is really nice, there's an old identity around education and a new one in digital tech, but it's still really small. Maybe Paris could move its best public universities there (think a french Boston).

1 rue Danton is the first concrete building in Paris. Do you know any other beautiful buildings in concrete similar to it? Do you think it can serve as an example for new concrete buildings to achieve beauty while saving money? They wouldn't have to copy all the detailed ornaments, but the harmonious form at least
