It is the most populous district of Besançon, with 21,000 inhabitants. Its inhabitants are called Planoisiens and Planoisiennes.
  The area is constantly changing and developing. Despite difficult economic and social conditions, Planoise has become a commercial crossroads and a multicultural sector; the area is home to people from over 50 different cultural origins. It is a highly urbanized area with few monuments or sites of interest, but the area contains notable buildings like the Departmental archives of Doubs and the Statue of Diversity.
