As a result of the Grand Paris Express becoming operational, the Paris Urbanism Agency (Apur), the Société des Grands Projets (SGP), the Regional and Interdepartmental Department of the Environment, Development and Transport (DRIEAT) and the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) as well as the Établissement public foncier d'Île-de-France (EPFIF) and the Institut Paris Region (IPR) are entering a new phase of observation of station neighbourhoods. First created in 2013, this partnership tool is aimed at being aware and reporting back on the urban and social transformations linked to the arrival of the metro on the scale of station neighbourhoods, lines and the network.
Ten years after the first assessment, these new monographs, produced in coordination with the schedule of lines coming into service, are based on the same perimeter around each station, a radius of 800 metres, corresponding to the immediate area of impact which is also within 10 to 15 minutes walking distance. They take exactly the same main indicators to enable comparative analysis. However, each monograph is enriched with new data that responds to new expectations or practices : cycle paths, square metres of green spaces open to the general public per inhabitant, nature recovery, energy saving, commercial intensity, as well as new social data such as mixed and segregated sectors and the proportion of office jobs.
Seven themes enable a fine scale understanding of:
- Urban transformations underway and to come ;
- Living environment ;
- Population and jobs ;
- Housing supply and cost ;
- Local life, uses and a new centrality ;
- Accessibility and means of transport ;
- Environment.
The monographs give detailed information on the characteristics of each station neighbourhood describing the immediate environment in the municipalities affected by the opening of stations and enable a cross-referenced analysis of all the station neighbourhoods on a line.
Apur has begun this new phase of analysing the urban influence of the Grand Paris Express by producing monographs of the 8 station neighbourhoods on line 14, inaugurated in June 2024 : Saint-Denis Pleyel, in the north and the 7 neighbourhoods on the southern extension of the line, from Maison Blanche to Orly airport.
- Saint-Denis Pleyel
- Mairie de Saint-Ouen
- Maison-Blanche
- Hôpital Bicêtre
- Villejuif Gustave Roussy
- L'Haÿ-les-Roses
- Chevilly-Larue
- Thiais-Orly
- Aéroport d'Orly
and monographs of 2 station neighbourhoods on line 15 South :
A datavisualisation of each neighbourhood accompanies the publication of the monographs offering a selection of key figures, maps and summary graphics covering all of the 68 station neighbourhoods. These data will be updated annually.
