One in two inhabitants of the globe lives in an urban environment. Transport means, built-up areas and energy consumption in the city are together responsible for a major Oportion of the greenhouse effect. As time goes on, we increasingly face the challenge of building a sustainable urban civilization: offering quality urban services for all, moderating the use of raw materials, water and energy, mitigating nuisances to the environment and controlling the as-yet unknown risks facing our society.

Paris-Est scientific and technical pole is a pole of excellence and innovation to meet the challenges of the sustainable city. Education, training, research and engineering unite on the Cité Descartes in Marne-la-Vallée to discuss topics relating to tomorrow’s towns and help implement the commitments made at the Grenelle Environment Round Table. The strong dynamics of the pole within Université Paris-Est, in convergence with AdvanCity R&D competitiveness cluster, are assets for innovation and building sustainable cities.

On the sustainable city, the pole will consist in 1,500 researchers, engineers and PhD students from dependent organizations* from the French Ministry for Sustainable Development, schools of higher education**, institutes*** and the university of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. It will be one of the world’s leading centers on urban planning topics and will place great emphasis on the kind of inter-disciplinary work that alone enables to foster sustainable development and design.

As a source of innovation in the core technical competencies of urban engineering, civil engineering, service infrastructures, urban planning, networks, modeling, simulation and control, the pole is a privileged partner for all players in the city (companies and public municipalities) and is beneficial to the development of the region in which it is located.
