Banlieue
suburb of a large city; especially used for France
A banlieue in France is the name for a suburb of a large city, or all its suburbs together. Most of them are outside the official boundary of the city. They are now mostly full of low-income housing projects with large numbers of immigrants and high levels of crime and unemployment.[1] Not all suburbs are full of poor people, but those are the places people usually mean. There have been several riots in banlieus about police racism. [2]
