Abstract
The London Underground and Paris Métro were very different conceptions, with major impacts on the cities’ development. The Underground almost immediately worked to promote suburban decentralization, while the Métro remained locked inside the city boundaries until well after World War II, inhibiting suburban growth. The Réseau Express Régional served the suburbs after 1970, but it plays a role more like the London Underground than a true regional express network. Meanwhile, London has grown into a vast polycentric mega-city region, extending out for up to 140 km from the capital.
