59 great projects in the Paris area (with map and details)
(Updated in October 2017)
The "Inventons la Metropole du Grand Paris" initiative is a major sign of the region dynamism and also of a better coordination of the area's local authorities. For the first time, the city halls of Paris have come together to transfer plots of land under their control to the project leaders chosen by the jury. Innovation was key in the selection process.
Outstanding sites have been presented, with the aim of inventing new neighbourhoods around the metro stations that will span the 200 km of the future automatic metro being built around Paris. Project leaders will also find unique sites on which to create the heart and soul of the Greater Paris metropolitan area, in urban centres, on riverbanks, in former forts, and in rapidly-changing economic activity areas. This multi-site approach will contribute to the emergence and establishment of the metropolitan identity currently being forged.
59 sites have been selected and should be key factors of success of the Grand Paris area development.
