# The Atlas of Greater Paris **Published by:** [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com/) **Published on:** 2026-05-16 **Categories:** paris, apur, parcel-economics, ryan-taylor, book, urbanism **URL:** https://brandondonnelly.com/the-atlas-of-greater-paris ## Content Occasionally, writing a daily blog has its perks. Last month I wrote a post called "The radical transformation of Greater Paris" and, in it, I mentioned that Apur (a French non-profit focused on urbanism that I follow) had just published a new book called Atlas de la Métropole du Grand Paris. I also mentioned that I hadn't been able to find a shop that would ship to Toronto, but that if anyone happens to be in Paris, it's available in bookstores over there. Volume is apparently a great store for people who like the kind of things we talk about on this blog. Following the post, I got an email from Ryan Taylor at Parcel Economics who more or less said, "Hey, I'm leaving for Paris soon. Want me to grab you a copy of the book? I've learned a lot from your blog over the years and thought I would offer." Now I have the book:Ryan, thanks for transporting what is a fairly substantial book across the Atlantic. If any of you are in need of a land economist, reach out to Ryan and the folks at Parcel Economics. He's both a nice and smart guy. Enjoy the long weekend, everyone. ## Publication Information - [Brandon Donnelly](https://brandondonnelly.com/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://brandondonnelly.com/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@brandondonnelly): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/donnelly_b): Follow on Twitter
