Hmmm. I disagree. In (continental) Europe the historical city centres are still the place where people live. Business areas have generally been built outside the historical part, except for the case where inner cities where destroyed in WW2. Maybe that's what you meant?

? Take Paris: businesses on the main floor, apartments above. Zoning in the States frequently won't allow this.

He meant CBD. In paris this is la defense. Which is not a very nice place to live.

Paris doesn't really have a CBD (but many smaller ones) but if it had it would be around Saint-Lazare/Opera rather than la Défense in my opinion.
