One of the issues affecting the expansion of the Raymond Queneau centrality is the urban transformation of the land plots around Bobigny Pantin – Raymond Queneau Station.
The Plaine de l’Ourcq has been identified as a part of the metropolis where urban transformation is in full swing. The area, which gets its character from the Ourcq Canal and some major infrastructures, is situated at the centre of a transport network which has developed over time (L5 metro, L15, Tzen3, extension of T1, T11 Express) and a large number of development projects.
Since the drawing up of the Charter in 2014, three urban areas have been identified as needing support:
- The Raymond Queneau centrality, together with the Line 5 metro station, the arrival of the cable car, The Tzen3 and the Port, Horloge and Ecocité Mixed Development Zones;
- The centrality of the Folie, together with the arrival of the future T11 Express station, the Tzen3, the new potential stop for Line 5 and the Horloge, Ecocité and Plaine de l’Ourcq Sustainable Neighbourhood Mixed Development Zones;
- The Pont de Bondy centrality, together with the future multimodal hub for the Tzen 3 / Tram T1 / Gare GPE L15 and the Ecocité, Plaine de l’Ourcq Sustainable Neighbourhood and the Rives de l’Ourcq Mixed Development Zones.
Each of the 3 above-named centralities are the subject of urban workshops attended by elected representatives and concerned key players, with a view to getting a collective understanding of the issues facing these neighbourhoods.
This note is a report of the first workshop attended by elected representatives concerning the Raymond Queneau centrality, which took place in April 2018 and had as its aim an update on the projects underway as well as the issues identified for the area.
