History

Geography

The department of the Hauts-de-Seine belongs to the area Île-de-France. It is bordering on the departments of the Seine-Saint-Denis in the North-East, of the Val-d'Oise in north, the Yvelines in the west, the the Essonne in the south, the the Valley-of-Marne in south-east and Paris in the east.

With the departments of Seine-Saint-Denis and the Valley-of-Marne, the Hauts-de-Seine form a belt around Paris, called the Petite crown.

Because of its form " englobante" and of its position " centrale" , it is the department of the Paris region which touches the most departments franciliens, exactly six.

Climate

Climate of the Hauts-de-Seine east very close to that of the remainder of the Paris basin with one soft winter, of the relatively frequent rains in autumn, one soft spring and of the high temperatures in summer. It reigns there a microclimate of a few degrees higher than the remainder of the northern part of France because of its situation out of basin and, appears it, partially also because of the pollution of the Paris and its suburbs.

Demography

The inhabitants of the Hauts-de-Seine are the Altoséquanais .

The estimates of INSEE at January 1st, 2005 carry the population of the Hauts-de-Seine to: 1517000 inhabitants, is a density of: 8619 hab/km ².

The department includes/understands a commune of more than: 100000 inhabitants: Boulogne-Billancourt. The size of the cities in term of population depends largely on the geographical limits of the cities, therefore of their history, since the department in its great majority is built. The separation of Doves one century ago downtown three (Doves, Wood-Doves and Garenne-Doves) illustrates this idea well; indeed, without this separation, Colombes would have weighed in 2005 (INSEE): 138100 inhabitants. In the same way for Neuilly which yielded grounds to Paris and Levallois-Perret. The population of the cities thus has limited an enough direction. The densities are more relevant.

This density of: 8619 hab/km ², very high compared to the average density of the Ile-de-France is not uniform on the territory viola-séquanais. One coarsely distinguishes four types of communes:

the communes least close to Paris or with a less similar urbanization, a density lower than: 4000 hab/km ², which are the communes of Marnes-the-Vain, Vaucresson, City-with Avray, Gennevilliers and Saint-Cloud;
common to high density but having an urbanization " of transition" , between: 4000 and: 12000 hab/km ², which are the communes of Meudon, Châtenay-Malabry, Rueil-Malmaison, Chaville, Sceaux, Clamart, Sevres, Antony, Plessis-Robinson, Garches, Nanterre, Villeneuve-the-Garenne, Bagneux, Fontenay-Aux-Roses, Châtillon, Borough-the-Queen, Colombes and Suresnes;
communes closer to Paris and having densities almost comparable with the capital, between: 12000 and: 15000 hab/km ², which are the communes of Issy-les-Moulineaux, Wood-Doves, Puteaux and Malakoff;
communes with the densities higher than: 15000 hab/km ², having often a driving role in the economy: the Garenne-Doves, Asnières-sur-Seine, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Vanves, Clichy-the-Garenne, Courbevoie, Boulogne-Billancourt, Montrouge and Levallois-Perret.

A parallel would be to make between this distribution and the fact that Marnes-the-Vain Sevres, Chaville, City-with Avray, Saint-Cloud, , Vaucresson, Garches and Rueil-Malmaison belonged to the department Seine-et-Oise (78) while the remainder of the communes belonged to the department the Seine (in the past Paris) (75) before 1968.

Public transport

The common to more than 15.000 hab/km ² represent less than 17% of the territory altoséquanais, but more than 35% of the population altoséquanaise. This density, coupled to a raised economic activity, results in an obstruction from public transport and frequent highway network, from where a necessary development of the network the RATP/the SNCF, currently much less dense than in Paris intramurally for an activity and a density sometimes largely higher.

41 stations of Transilien, 19 stations of subway, 13 stations of tram and 19 stations of the RER, the Hauts-de-Seine take into account 92 stations of heavy transport.

That made only 0,52 station per square kilometer, or a station for: 16689 inhabitants.

The extentions in progress and new lines should change the number of stations to 134 from here 2012 (source the RATP), that is to say on average 0,76 station per square kilometer.

The Hauts-de-Seine (current territory) are one of the birthplaces of public transport, with the first line of public transport in the train which crossed them as of 1837, under the reign of King Louis-Philippe Ier (Monarchie of July): the Line of Paris with Saint-Germain-in-Bush hammer, inaugurated by the queen Marie-Amélie on August 26th, 1837, stopping in the stations of the current cities of Clichy-the-Garenne and Levallois-Perret, Asnières-sur-Seine, the Garenne-Doves and Nanterre.
