In 2010, Paris and the Plaine Commune gave themselves the objective of defining ways of collaborating towards the transformation of the territory at the Paris/Plaine Commune interface in order to develop an inter-communal  structuration schema aimed at providing different contractors / project managers  intervening in the territories a better and more complete vision of their future.

This process, initiated by representatives of the two local authorities in May 2010, is being run by the City of Paris Urbanism Department -DU-  and the DDUS of the community of the Plaine Commune urban conurbation, with APUR conducting the necessary studies.

To accomplish this, three professional workshops aimed at specifying the strategic aims shared by the two local authorities were held on 28 June and 5 November 2010, and on 4 March 2011. The participants included the Plaine Commune and Paris technical services as well as the designers who are carrying out studies on the territories at the Paris, Saint Denis and Aubervilliers interface.

Their work is based on a cartographic assemblage carried out by Apur of all the short (2010), medium (2016) and long-term (2020 and beyond) projects of large territory scale, from the railway stations Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est to the centre of Saint Denis and the confluence of the Seine and the canal. An analysis of these assemblages was then undertaken by Apur on the following themes:

  • Landscapes, green and blue framework;
  • Road grid and public transport;
  • Logistics and large urban services;
  • Urban life and structuring programmes.

Then, in April and May 2011, maps synthesizing the work of the workshops constituting an initial draft of a shared strategic schema laid out according to the above four themes were produced by Apur and presented to Anne Hidalgo, first deputy to the Mayor of Paris and to Patrick Braouezec, President of the metropolitan community of Plaine Commune.

These are the four maps of this new phase of work and the commentaries which accompany them which have been put together in this document.
