I grew up in northern New Jersey - the banlieue of New York - and I now live in Brooklyn. I am separated from my parents by about 50 miles, but really there is almost no distance between us. I speak to them nearly every day.

WHAT DOES BANLIEUE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

banlieue

Banlieue

A banlieue is a suburb of a large city in France. They are divided into autonomous administrative entities and do not constitute part of the city proper. In the Paris area, 80% of the inhabitants live outside the city of Paris. Some contain poverty traps of social housing. Like the city centre, suburbs may be rich, middle-class or poor; Versailles, Le Vésinet, Maisons-Laffitte and Neuilly-sur-Seine are affluent banlieues of Paris, while Clichy-sous-Bois, Bondy and Corbeil-Essonnes are poor ones. Since the 1970s and 1980s, in European French, the phrase les banlieues has been increasingly used to describe suburban low-income housing projects in which mainly French of foreign descent or foreign immigrants reside.
