Station neighbourhood of Bagneux - Lucie Aubrac

Observatory of the Grand Paris Express station neighbourhoods

The commissioning of Line 15 South in the fourth quarter of 2026, connecting with the extension of Metro Line 4, which opened in January 2022, will improve accessibility to the Bagneux station district, which has seen a sharp increase in population (+12%) since 2010.

This development is part of the strong momentum of development projects underway in the station district. The two ZACs (joint development zones) currently underway represent 332,350 m² of floor space, half of which has already been delivered. They involve the creation of 119,000 m² of office space and 184,800 m² of housing, or 2,640 housing units, of which 1,215 are under construction or still to be delivered. These operations also involve the creation of new public spaces, including three new green spaces (3.1 hectares created) in a district with little vegetation, as well as a multi-purpose facility and shops that are contributing to the emergence of a new local center at Place Lucie Aubrac. Finally, changes in mobility patterns already show a decline in car use for commuting (-7 points since 2010) and an increase in public transport use (+5 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.
