Banlieues are areas outside of French cities that are typically associated with low-income housing and crime. The word translates to suburb in English. However, in the US, this kind of phenomenon is rare because suburbs here are typically associated with higher income and more safety when compared to the inner city.

So I am wondering how common this phenomenon is around the world and what other places have something like this.

Denmark also has a big population outside on the peninsula

I made a map that takes in natural language to help me do some geographic competitive analysis. You can overlay multiple query results, they’re color coded for each query. Not perfect but generally works pretty well. Open to feedback.

Always found this area interesting as a meeting point between 3 countries

obviously the map doesn't show all of them, but scrolling through the coast of the lake, you find loads of small exclaves that nunavut owns for some reason.

I had this picture I did a while back on a flight and went to check where was it.

1 - Switzerland, the beggining of the Inn river (the river that gives the name to a town in Austria where some lerson was born).

2 - Italy, the start of the Adige Valley.

3 - Austria, Wildspitze the second highest mountain of the country with 3.770 m.

4 - Germany, Zugspitze the highest mountain of the country with 2.962 m.

i’ve always liked cities with two words for their name, for example: baton rouge, corpus christi

but i also like a lot of older city’s names such as constantinople.

one of my all time favorites is definitely transylvania.

what are yours?

Need help please on identifying where this city or town is from a ship manifest in 1912. No country is listed, but it’s most likely Russian Empire, modern day Belarus. Anywhere in Eastern Europe is possible though. I’ve spent days looking at maps and am getting nowhere- the letters are hard to decipher and I’ve tried a few ways. Zaslauje / Zaslawye near Minsk is my only guess but still seems off. Thanks in advance!

Amsterdam, Vienna, Istanbul, Bangkok comes to my mind. These cities either have way too many grandiose buildings so one of them couldn’t be completely distinguished like the Eiffel Tower, or the city’s overall architecture is more famous than their grandiose buildings, like in the case of Amsterdam. Which other cities could qualify?

super confused on meaning and difference of these key geographical terms: Physical, cultural features; Physical, cultural phenomena; Processes. How do they all fit in term "landscape-cultural, human"?

Thanks!

Largest fresh water lake in the world and unlile other great lakes biggest town on lake Superior is Thunder bay with some 100k people (not to shabby) but fails in comparasing with other great lakes and metropolises on their shores Is lake Superior too harsh and cold for there to be a major city

Mine is Büsingen am Hochrhein. It’s a small German town marooned inside Switzerland. Politically German, but day-to-day life jumps between Swiss francs and Euros. Locals follow German law, yet Swiss services (like mail and phone lines) prevail.

What’s your pick for an obscure enclave?

This area is known as the northwoods or Laurentian Mixed Forest Province What is life like here? Is there anyone who lives here or travels here to talk about what it is like here?

Pretty much the title. Is it a viable idea for Greenland to offer "home" but no welfare/benefits to anyone who is willing to live there? Can it then become e.g. a 1M nation?

Today I learnt that Indonesia is in the process of building a new national capital, Nusantara in Eastern Borneo. Because Jakarta is sinking and prone to flooding, pollution, and traffic jams.

Are there any other countries or states that are in the process of building a new capital or moving to a new capital?

What is the difference between coordinates (lines of latitude and longitude) and a 6-figure grid reference?
