Monograph of the Maison Blanche railway station district (2024)
83,941 sq.m of commercial space, 36,533 sq.m of housing, 20,146 sq.m of office space, 650 sq.m of retail space and a new media library have been completed or are underway in the district's 4 development projects. Since 2010, most of the area has been transformed by a large number of off-site projects, with 109,000 m² of business space and 81,000 m² of housing authorized, helping to rebalance the mix between housing and business. 30% of the 1,189 housing units created between 2010 and 2021 were created by transforming existing buildings.
The Maison Blanche station area is a mixed-use neighborhood with 38% social housing, and the number of social housing units rose by 27% between 2010 and 2022. At the same time, the proportion of managerial staff is increasing. The ratio of salaried jobs to residents is high, but lower than in Paris and the metropolitan area. Residents enjoy good access to amenities, in particular the sports facilities of the green belt, as well as to shops.
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.
