Involvement - France is one of the six founding member of theEU.
It is one of the 6 core founding countries of the EU, so France technically founded & joined the EU in 1958.
Euro was introduced in 1999, and since 2012 France uses the Euro exclusively.
Because France used to be a powerful colonialist, they have overseas regions, territories which are not located in Europe, but their citizens are european citizens. For example, French Guiana people can live & work in Europe based on their French citizenship.
Because of its resemblance to a hexagon, france is sometimes called l’Hexagone
France abolished the guillotine as the capital method of punishment only in 1981 - 23 years after they founded the EU. The last person to be punished in France by guillotine was executed on 10 September 1977.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Edge cities are usually formed because land in the suburbs or on the outskirts of the city is cheaper (bid-rent curve), so they can make more a profit.
These businesses are normally connected the the CBD (central business district) so transportation to and from that area is still possible.
People that live in the suburbs or are visiting the main city have easy access to the edge city as you might not have to travel as far to these cities as the CBD (distance decay).
Edge cities can be a good thing because they allow for new businesses to thrive and they can increase economic activity and competition due to new construction, cheaper prices, new companies moving in, etc.
However, they can also be a detriment to the CBD because they might allow companies to relocate due to the cheaper land prices, they might take in the typical customers of the CBD companies, ultimately leading to the vacancy of the CBDs, which could be dangerous and create high-crime, unsanitary, or contaminated areas. It can also take attention away from significant or historical monuments and locations in the CBD.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
