FRANCE 🇫🇷.

✅ The City of PARIS has around 6,000 traffic lanes.

✅ Among these, only 247 traffic lanes have a name referring to a woman (or a female community), according to the selection criteria.

✅ Names referring to a man are around 3,200 or 4,000, depending on the source.

✅ The City of PARIS, becoming aware of this under-representation of women in the names of its streets, made an effort between 2014 and 2020 to correct this gender inequality, by assigning more than 150 names of streets, walks, alleys, gardens, parks and facilities according to the name of a female personality, bringing the percentage of place names referring to a woman to 12%.

✅ A map is available on the city of PARIS website.

✅ Numerous green spaces and public facilities such as gymnasiums, libraries, entertainment centers and colleges have therefore contributed to the place of women in public space in PARIS.
