Chevilly-Larue station serves several major metropolitan facilities: the Rungis Marché d'Intérêt National (M.I.N.), the Belle Épine shopping center and the Thiais cemetery. The opening of line 14 of the Grand Paris Express in June 2024 will encourage the development of urban projects in the station area. 114,873 m² of housing, 43,343 m² of facilities, 10,385 m² of retail space, 10,700 m² of hotels, 19,000 m² of business space and 16,860 m² of public green spaces are planned for the Portes d'Orly Eco-district and the Cité de la Gastronomie.
In this district, which is denser in terms of jobs than inhabitants, the number of residents rose by 23% between 2010 and 2020, a trend that will accelerate with the implementation of the Portes d'Orly eco-district. This will result in the delivery of 1,859 housing units, almost doubling the number of homes in the district.
The rate of salaried employment is very high (3.6 jobs per active resident), thanks to the presence of the MIN de Rungis and the Belle Épine shopping center. Accessibility to jobs has already been greatly improved with the opening of the new stations on line 14 south.
Launched in 2013, the Observatoire des quartiers de gare du Grand Paris Express is a partnership tool that brings together the Atelier parisien d'urbanisme (Apur), the Société des grands projets (SGP), the Direction régionale et interdépartementale de l'environnement, de l'aménagement et des transports (DRIEAT) and the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (Insee) as well as the Établissement public foncier d'Île-de-France (EPFIF) and the Institut Paris Region (IPR). The aim of the observatory is to report on the urban and social transformations linked to the arrival of the metro, at the level of station districts, lines and the network.
Ten years after the first survey, a new phase of the observatory has begun. In keeping with the timetable for the start of operations, the new studies are based on the same perimeter around each station, with an 800-meter radius corresponding to the immediate area of influence covered in a 10-15 minute walk. They also include the main indicators for comparative analysis.
Seven themes provide a fine-grained overview of current and future urban changes - Living environment - Population and jobs - Housing supply and prices - Local life, uses and new centrality - Accessibility and mobility - Environment. They are accompanied by a simple datavisualization, accessible to all from the Apur website and updated every year.
