=== In France ===
In [[France]], a ''[[banlieue]]'' ({{IPA|fr|bɑ̃ljø|lang}}) is a suburb of a large [[city]]. Banlieues are divided into autonomous administrative entities and do not constitute part of the [[city proper]]. For instance, 80% of the inhabitants of the [[Paris metropolitan area|Paris area]] live outside the city of [[Paris]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Archived copy |url=http://parisbynumbers.com/2008/04/28/paris-suburbs-les-banlieues/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029203928/http://parisbynumbers.com/2008/04/28/paris-suburbs-les-banlieues/ |archive-date=2013-10-29 |access-date=2013-08-14}}</ref> Like the city centre, suburbs may be rich, middle-class or poor&nbsp;— [[Versailles, Yvelines|Versailles]], [[Le Vésinet]], [[Maisons-Laffitte]] and [[Neuilly-sur-Seine]] are affluent banlieues of [[Paris]], while [[Clichy-sous-Bois]], [[Bondy]] and [[Corbeil-Essonnes]] are less so. However, since the 1970s, ''banlieues'' increasingly means, in [[French of France]], low-income housing projects ([[HLM]]s) in which mainly [[Immigration to France|foreign immigrants]] and French of foreign descent reside, often in perceived [[Cycle of poverty|poverty traps]].<ref>Lepoutre, David.
