Can you tell me what's "new" about France nowadays, specifically the urban areas? (i.e. lifestyle, crime rates...)
I just checked the World Factbook and was rather shocked to find how France's life expectancy has been gradually falling in the past few years. I think last time I checked it was at #5 or 6 and now it's #15. Now, apparently Australians and Canadians outlive the average French person? That's new to me.

France just fall in ranking because some other countries improved a lot. But the life expectancy is still rising every year. Australia and Canada are rich countries will a lot of space, which mean fresh air. This help a bit.
France stats growth slowed because women started to smoke in the 60's, old drinking problems and air pollution. More over, immigration brings different lifestyles, which are not always very healthy.
French pigs just killed a young environmentalist who was demonstrating against the slaughter of the countryside by concrete. A same scandal nationwide as the killing of that young fellow in Ferguson (lots of young people and students are demonstrating right now). But of course US tourists don't care, so enamored they are with their idea of "eternal Fraaaaance"...

Ouch. I hope to see improvements sometime soon. Not just in France, but anywhere else with urban sprawl like that...

Technically it's not concrete. It's a dam project. They want to build a manmade lake to irrigate farms. But to do so, they have to flood a swamp with a very dense wildlife. Environmental groups don't want this, and a cop killed (by accident) an activist during an action to make the project stop.
Sadly, people and NGO's don't really care about the urban sprawl of the country, but are more focused on some small events.

The CIA World Factbook is the last source that should be checked by anyone. It's full of inaccuracies, outdated or made up figures. Totally unreliable.
