Government

With a population of 2.1 million inhabitants, Paris is the capital and largest city in France and forms the center of the most populous urban area in the EU. Given the City of Paris' density of 20k inhabitants per km2 (one of the highest in the EU), rooftops are of paramount importance to adapt existing buildings to climate change while improving human well-being. With 4 out of 5 buildings in Paris covered with a zinc roof, adaptation to heat waves has become a crucial topic for Parisians.
