Greater Paris Metropolis in Action GREATER PARIS METROPOLIS IN ACTION Métropole du Grand Paris 15-19 avenue Pierre Mendès-France 75013 PARIS - Tel. +33(0)1 82 28 78 00 www.metropolegrandparis.fr A Metropolis at the service of 7.2 million residents Since its creation, the Greater Paris Metropolis has taken concrete steps to benefi t its 7.2 million residents. The particular role of the Metropolis has become undeniable, as it takes up the challenges of economic, social and cultural development, working to protect the environment and enhancing its international attractiveness. Its action is focused on employment, investment and innovation. There is now global competition between metropolitan areas. These dense and connected urban areas have specifi c features in terms of housing, transport, the environment and the distribution of economic activity. Acting on these issues is central to the Great- er Paris Metropolis’ mission as it seeks to promote the well-being of its residents and its territory. All of these issues reveal the obvious need for the Greater Paris Metropolis. This inter-municipal establishment pools resources and simplifi es the administrative system. It restores balance to the territory, making solidarity a top priority. As the number one cen- tre for employment with the largest offi ce space anywhere in Eu- rope, the Greater Paris Metropolis is a major driver of global growth. 1 A continuous, A ROISSY- CHARLES DE GAULLE dense urban area AIRPORT B C D 17 LE BOURGET B AIRPORT PARIS TERRES € D'ENVOL BOUCLE PLAINE A NORD COMMUNE DE SEINE m 25% 7.2 GRAND RESIDENTS OF FRENCH GDP PARIS 14 15 GRAND A EST EST 16 ENSEMBLE 15 E A PARIS OUEST PARIS 15 LA DÉFENSE PARIS EST MARNE & BOIS GRAND PARIS 814 8,598 SEINE C KM2 RESIDENTS/KM2 OUEST U VALLÉE SUD GRAND PARIS B GRAND-ORLY SEINE BIÈVRE C 14 GRAND PARIS SUD EST MIN DE RUNGIS AVENIR A 18 E ORLY The Metropolitan Area in the AIRPORT Île-de-France Region B C D 2 3 C D Key Figures* POPULATION ATTRACTIVENESS WEALTH 46.8 m €489bn 131 VISITORS PER YEAR GDP MUNICIPALITIES 7.2 million # RESIDENTS 25% 1 OF GDP IN MAINLAND TOURIST DESTINATION FRANCE IN THE WORLD EMPLOYMENT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 4.2 million 413,000 900 150,000 DIGITAL ECONOMY TEACHING R&D JOBS JOBS JOBS INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING 16 UNIVERSITIES 68% 80.5% 57% OF NATIONAL OF THE JOBS IN OF DIGITAL ECONOMY JOBS TOTAL NUMBER ÎLE-DE-FRANCE IN ÎLE-DE-FRANCE * Sources: Institut d’aménagement et d’urbanisme de la région IdF (IAU) and Atelier parisien d’urbanisme (APUR) 4 5 AN ATTRACTIVE METROPOLIS AREA ATTRACTIVE COMPETITIVE INNOVATIVE 6 The 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris OLYMPIC AQUATIC CENTRE The Greater Paris Metropolis will host the Olympic and specifi cally for the Games.

  • Consortium Led by VINCI Construction, Together with Spie
    Paris, 20 February 2018 Press release Consortium led by VINCI Construction, together with Spie batignolles, wins a new contract on the metro Line 14 South as part of the future Grand Paris Express rapid transit system • 4.6 km of tunnel to be excavated using a tunnel boring machine • Construction of the new Kremlin Bicêtre Hôpital station • Contract value: almost €400 million (excluding tax) The consortium led by VINCI Construction (Dodin Campenon Bernard, lead company; VINCI Construction France; VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Botte Fondations), together with Spie batignolles (Spie batignolles Génie Civil and Spie batignolles Fondations), has been awarded a major contract as part of the Grand Paris Express programme. The RATP1 has selected this consortium to execute works package GC02 of the future Line 14 South between Olympiades (in the 13th arrondissement of Paris) and Orly Airport. The contract, worth almost €400 million (excluding tax), requires the use of an earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine to excavate a 4.6 km tunnel between Maison Blanche Paris XIII futur station and the TBM starting shaft at Jean Prouvé. It also includes construction of the new Kremlin Bicêtre Hôpital station and five ventilation and emergency shafts. The contract is scheduled to last 72 months. A large-scale project in an urban environment The GC02 works package site cuts through Paris, Kremlin Bicêtre, Gentilly, Villejuif and L’Haÿ-les-Roses. It also passes near Kremlin Bicêtre Hospital and the A6 motorway. Integrating the worksite into this environment is a major challenge that has led to numerous consultation meetings being held between the RATP, the Société du Grand Paris (SGP) and all the cities, local authorities and residents involved.

Impacts of a major Seine flood in the Ile-de-France region A historic reference: the great 100-year flood of 1910 While the possibility of a major flood of the Seine River may initially seem remote, it comes back regularly and arouses public attention as was the case during the spring of 2013 when floods took place upstream of the Seine River basin. Even though the flooding did not cause any major damage, it reopened the question of risk management and the region's vulnerability to flooding. The prospect of a historic event is a key concern for French risk management stakeholders. The 1910 flood was particularly destructive in the context of an era marked by industrial and technological progress. Such events illustrate the difficulties societies have in compromising between economic development and the management of increased vulnerability of society and multiple economic sectors.

  • Independence and Trade: the Speci C E Ects of French Colonialism
    Independence and trade: the specic eects of French colonialism Emmanuelle Lavallée¤ Julie Lochardy June 2012z Very preliminary. Please do note cite. Abstract Empirical evidence suggests that colonial rule and subsequent indepen- dence inuence past and current trade of former colonies. Independence ef- fects could dier substantially across former empires if they are related to the end of dierent preferential trade arrangements. Thanks to an original dataset including new data on pre-independence bilateral trade, this paper explores the impact of independence on former colonies' trade (imports and exports) for dierent empires on the period 1948-2007. We show that independence reduces trade (imports and exports) with the former metropole and that this eect is mainly driven by former French colonies. We also nd that, after independence, trade of all former colonies increase with third countries. A close inspection of the eects over time highlights that independence eects are gradual but tend to be more rapid and more intense in the case of exports. These results oer indirect evidence for the long-lasting inuence of colonial trade policies. Author Keywords: Trade; Decolonization; French Empire.

  • Steering-The-Metropolis-V20
    Steering the Metropolis Metropolitan Governance for Sustainable Urban Development Editors David Gómez-Álvarez • Eduardo López-Moreno • Robin Rajack Steering the Metropolis Metropolitan Governance for Sustainable Urban Development Editors David Gómez-Álvarez Eduardo López-Moreno Robin Rajack 3 Overview The publication proposed here provides state of the art scholarship on integrated approaches to metropolitan governance. The goal is to provide a variety of examples about the leading edge of effective metropolitan governance from a broad range of geographic, cross- disciplinary and thematic perspectives. A select group of scholars and experts examine current models of metropolitan governance as well as adminis- trative challenges and opportunities to achieve sustainable urban development. These examples carry different forms of innovation in areas such as planning, fnance, housing, services and citizen participation. Rationale In the last ffty years, migration, demographic changes and the transformation of land from rural to urban have provoked unprecedented rapid and expansive urbanization in different regions of the world, particularly in the Global South. In other regions from the Global North cities tend to shrink or stabilize in their populations having different gover- nance challenges. Increasingly metropolitan in character, urban expansion – and in some cases contraction - has brought to the fore a multiplicity of issues and diverse popula- tions at the intersection of different levels of governance. The spatial, legal, political, and social complexities of this phenomenon make effective metropolitan governance one of the most pressing challenges of our time in the search of sustainability. Today, it is diffcult to fnd a city of more than 500,000 inhabitants that is made only of one municipality.
