The 'Chinese quarter' of Paris, France, on January. 07, 2021. Improper term to designate an area heavily populated by Chineses. and asiatics. In the 1960s, the architect Le Corbusier, implemented a vast real estate project in place of old industrial wastelands on 87 ha. A program of 55 towers was initially planned to receive young Parisians in search of housing and modernity. Total fiasco. About thirty towers emerge from the earth and in 1975 saw a strong arrival of Asians driven out by the war in Vietnam. This program, called 'Italy 13', will allow 20,000 Asians to find accommodation. The Triangle de Choisy. Largest Asian district in Europe. Photo by Mario Fourmy/ABACAPRESS.COM
