The article focuses on the topographical attributes of the Gare du Nord located in Paris, France. It compares the train station's 1864 construction to its 21th century renovation in order to demonstrate how this change engendered practices of control and policing in the absence of physical barriers between classes, modes of transportation, and the train station and the city. Particular focus is given to the social, commercial, and transportation exchange pole models both in theory and practice.
