London and Paris: we could soon be part of the same conurbation

Yes, the two cities are competitors – but if we also work together, we can be a global partnership to reckon with


To Boris Johnson: our two great cities have a special relationship that, in all likelihood, will deepen and strengthen as the world becomes more globalised. So, yes, in many ways, London is a suburb of Paris and
Paris is a suburb of London.
If one takes a global vision, London and Paris are increasingly close. With Eurostar, London's St Pancras and the Gare du Nord are just over two hours apart. Ask a Chinese tourist and an American student touring Europe. Ask the numerous professionals who commute several times a week, if not every day. Ask an international investor or an entrepreneur looking for opportunities. Ask our youth who jump on the train to party across the Channel. People are increasingly linked and mobile. This narrows the distance between us.
