In the Saint-Denis Pleyel station district, there is a strong project dynamic linked to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the arrival of the 4 lines 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the Grand Paris Express, scheduled between 2024 and 2030. In the 8 projects located in the station area, 159,250 m² of housing and 497,872 m² of business space have already been built and delivered. In June 2024, 767,728 sq.m were under construction or still to be built.
Saint-Denis Pleyel is a working-class neighborhood with 29% social housing. The housing offer has diversified and increased by 35% between 2010 and 2020. The district's working population is predominantly white-collar and blue-collar, while the jobs on offer are mainly office-based. Accessibility to jobs will improve between 2024 and 2030 (+29% of jobs accessible).
Among the major changes linked to the development of the station hub, a crossing will be created between the two stations (GPE and RER D), as well as a new pedestrian center around the station (+42,225 m² of sidewalks). 7 ha of parks and gardens are planned, including the Parc Ampère, which will be delivered after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
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.
