A free access exhibition for finding out more about metropolitan issues.
The primer A to Z for the future Greater Paris Metropolis -Grand Paris- compiled as part of the Pre-planning Mission by Apur and the Ile-de-France urbanism agency IAU-îdF, forms a documentary basis which covers Paris, the 124 communes of the three departments which make up the inner ring of suburbs – la Petite Couronne - (92, 93, 94) of the future metropolis and the 47 bordering communes which may possibly include its outer boundary.
A selection of maps and data from the primer are shown forming a travelling exhibition available, free of charge, as from 1st December 2014, down-loadable and printable in large format. It is intended to be for all types of public, authorities, municipalities, educational establishments, neighborhood associations...
This series of “landmark maps” makes it possible to understand the territory's geographical and historical basis, the major transformations underway and to be aware of today's particularities with a view to future developments.
The exhibition is intended as a invitation to discover the communes and territories, to share knowledge about them for the benefit of the metropolitan project for the future Greater Paris metropolis -Métropole du Grand Paris- which remains to be written.
