For the Hôpital Bicêtre station district, the opening of line 14 south in June 2024 will considerably improve accessibility to a densely populated area of the metropolis previously served only by bus. The arrival of the Grand Paris Express network will boost the dynamic of projects underway in the station area. 100,871 m² of office space, 78,077 m² of housing and 8,832 m² of retail space are planned in 6 projects. Since 2014, this area has already been transformed by a number of off-site projects and development projects, including the creation, renovation and conversion of housing (1,759 units authorized between 2010 and 2021), and the construction of new facilities such as the Lavoir numérique and the Val de Bièvre vocational high school. 132,613 m² of business space have been created since 2010. In 2015, the Sanofi Val de Bièvre tertiary Campus moved in with a floor area of 52,000 m².
The Hôpital Bicêtre district is a mixed-use neighborhood with 39% social housing. The proportion of managerial staff has been increasing over the past 10 years, while remaining a mixed neighborhood. The employment rate is high, thanks to the presence of the AP-HP hospital. Households have owned and used cars less and less to go to work since 2010 (-3 points), while public transport use has increased (+3 points).
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.
