The city gateways, Portes Chaumont, Brunet and Pré Saint-Gervais

The collaborative reflection carried out at the request of the City of Paris, the administrative Department of Seine-Saint-Denis and in liaison with the Town of Pré Saint-Gervais and Est Ensemble, proposes a strategy for the gradual transformation of the public spaces included in the Green Belt, based on an urban analysis of the sector and discussion workshops with pupils from the Jean-Jacques Rousseau et Georges Rouault schools.

The study to jointly redefine these three local city gateways -Portes- proposes new calm connections between Paris and Pré Saint-Gervais, so as to adapt the area to climate change and make the access points for crossing the Boulevard Périphérique more pleasant for those who use them:

• Porte Chaumont transformed into an urban avenue including pedestrian walkways and cycle paths along both sides of the Périphérique.
• Porte Brunet a renovated pedestrian walkway including the areas surrounding the Jean-Jacques Rousseau School being redesigned and more open.
• Porte du Pré Saint-Gervais transformed into a landscaped city gateway linked to the Grand Chemin.

This strategy implies an increase of:
+16% of public space for pedestrians
+16% desealed public space ground surfaces
+200 trees planted alongside the three city gateways -Portes- forming the Boulevard Périphérique's Wooded Corridor
+3 km of cycle paths to be developed
