At the junction of Boulogne-Billancourt and Sèvres, the Pont de Sèvres station runs alongside the Seine under the Quai Georges Gorse. Connected to metro line 9 and the bus station, it serves the ZAC Seguin - Rives de Seine, one of the largest project areas in the Greater Paris region, with a total surface area of 93 hectares, including a 7-hectare park. 

With three quarters of the Boulonnais development zone to be completed by 2025, the station will cater for a mixed population that is set to grow by over 30% between 2010 and 2021. It is also part of the development of a major employment hub with almost 34,000 salaried jobs, as well as a cultural hub of metropolitan scope, notably on the Île Seguin with La Seine Musicale, a 6,800-seat concert hall inaugurated in 2017, and the ongoing development of the “Pointe des arts” in the upstream part of the Île Seguin and the Manufacture de Sèvres.

On the left bank, the station and the three Seine crossings will make facilities such as the Sèvres swimming pool and conservatory, Brimborion park and the redeveloped banks of the Seine more accessible.

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.
