This picture was taken from the Eiffel Tower and shows the business district (La Défense) in Paris. It is possible to see the difference between the old buildings of Paris and the new type of construction. These new constructions have emerged with the economic development of France and the use of new building materials. The sand used in the construction comes from abroad as architectural models and the willingness to build a business district. This new type of district is an international model; all major cities in developed and developing countries have one of it.
