CentersParis

centersParis is a term used in urban planning and open data contexts to refer to a centralized, structured listing of notable centers within the city of Paris. It comprises locations that function as hubs of public activity, including public service centers, cultural venues, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, government offices, and transit nodes. The concept is used to support analysis of service access and urban form.

Data records typically include fields such as name, geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), arrondissement, street address, type or category, and operational information (hours, accessibility). Some entries may also include population served, capacity, or contact details. The dataset is designed for compatibility with GIS tools and location-based applications.

CentersParis is usually maintained as an open data resource by the City of Paris or collaborating agencies, drawing from municipal registries, public institutions, and partner organizations. Updates may reflect changes in operation, new centers, or closures, with licensing commonly under an open data or public domain-like agreement.

Applications include mapping service coverage, planning new facilities, evaluating travel times, and supporting emergency response. Limitations can include incomplete coverage, variable data quality, language considerations, and delays between actual changes and updates. The concept is used to facilitate transparency and informed decision-making in urban services and mobility planning.
