My time abroad attending the American University Center in Provence challenged me inside and outside the classroom and was of indispensible value to my growth as a learner. My love and thanks to friends and family who supported, listened, and boosted my spirits throughout the entire process. To Professor Klinkenborg for helping me remember the joys of writing. Finally, my biggest thanks to my readers and advisors Professor Fazia Aitel, Professor Anna Joo Kim and Professor Thomas Kim. Their commitment and tremendous help through each step of my thesis gave me the courage to explore my topic through a variety of lenses as well as the motivation to continue. 1 Social and Urban Inquiries from a Curious and Inspired Visitor I have always been drawn to my environments. I enjoy learning about their histories and how I place myself within them. Cities have a particular allure to me, largely because they are so multifaceted, each containing distinctive features. I’ve noticed in my years of moving and academic transitioning that individuals are highly influenced by environments. I felt this awareness acutely when I studied abroad in France for the spring of my junior year in Aix-en-Provence. It was there abroad, with the multiple barriers I encountered – language, cultural, academic and individual, that I became most aware of my movements through space. It was the first time I was living in a foreign country for an extended period of time. I had to make changes to my daily habits due to the newness and unfamiliarity of Aix. One adjustment that I grew to love was my daily walk or commute by bus into the center of the city. I enjoyed the tranquil lull of the ride in the morning, listening to my ipod, but mostly, I enjoyed people watching. It was a perceptibly informative experience. It was almost as if in that moving space alone, I was discovering an obscure lesson about the cultural environment of French cities. In other French cities, using buses, the TGV train, and the Parisian metro brought to my attention both the attractiveness and accessibility of public transit. In my discussions with French students, cars for them were preferable, but as a foreigner, I developed an appreciation for the common good of public transportation. Mass utilization of public transit was opened up to me when I was abroad. Furthermore, I happened to be overseas during a rare match in politics for France and the United States. Only once every 201 years do their presidential election seasons align because of differing term lengths. Seeing news covering France’s presidential campaign as well the U.S.’s made clear our political differences. As an American, I was challenged 1 See Olivier Duhamel’s piece for an analysis on France’s political term lengths. 2 during the campaigning to explain exactly what it was that I noticed. Their domestic concerns, the economy, as well as social and civic issues were comparable, yet subtly and distinguishably different. One facet that did starkly stand out was France’s keen focus on social welfare projects to revitalize the state of its economy. Reading the current news, I came across respective political parties’ plans and goals, covering everything from boosting engineering and technology industries, to revitalizing their state infrastructure. All planning seemed to be based upon a social welfare oriented state that was striving to be capitalistically competitive. One specific plan I came across was the Grand Paris Express. It was this project that struck me as the most lucidly French. French because it aspires to solve their state’s economy through an infrastructural project that faces a new model, but with noticeably and somewhat poignantly French designed features. From my perspective, it was these dual concepts, mass transit planning and the political and social environment that I found myself in, which ignited a fascination to more closely observe the underlying foundations of French cities and how they have grown over the years. From my location in and connection to them, I saw myself as an observer and temporary participant, able to communicate and pass through, but also unable to fully comprehend their histories.

Pourtant, les faits sont là : les pays qui ont le plus utilisé ces outils sont aussi ceux qui ont, de loin, compté le moins de morts. Depuis un an et demi, les Français sont soumis à des restrictions inédites et généralisées de leurs libertés, qui n’ont pas pour autant permis d’éviter un lourd bilan sanitaire (100 000 morts), qui ont causé la plus grande récession économique jamais connue en temps de paix, et dont on commence à peine à mesurer les conséquences psychologiques. Et si la vaccination permet aujourd’hui d’espérer un retour à la normale, la pandémie de Covid-19 n’est ni la dernière, ni sans doute la plus grave des années à venir.

  • Study Visit in Île De France
    STUDY VISIT IN ÎLE DE FRANCE On 4 and 5 June 2015, the European Club of Intermodal Regions and Cities, managed by INTERMODES, and STIF (Syndicat des Transports de l’Île de France) invite you to experience the transport network of the Île de France region. STIF is the Ile de France region’s transport authority. Since 2006 it consists of the Ile de France region, the city of Paris and the counties of Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de -Marne, Val d'Oise and Yvelines. It is chaired by the President of the Ile de France Regional Council, Jean-Paul Huchon. Sophie Mougard, its CEO, will introduce the two-day technical visit. STIF is the main financier of the Île de France public transport. STIF « organizes the passengers’ regular public transport services ». As such, STIF is assigned with the mission of deciding on the transport routes and the stations, of the operators’ selection, of the technical implementation definition as well as of the operation general conditions. It decides on the services financing, and monitors the investment programmes’ coherence. STIF settles on a pricing policy in line with State Council decrees. It promotes transport for people with reduced mobility, organizes on demand transport services and, is also competent for the organization of passengers’ fluvial regular public transport. In this capacity, STIF organizes, coordinates and finances the passengers’ regional public transport, which are operated by RATP, SNCF Île-de-France and other private transport operators grouped in the OPTILE association. To this end it: - Defines general conditions of operation, creates tickets and sets fares; - Defines the transport offer and the quality of services in the framework of contracts with industrial companies and service providers; - Coordinates the regional public transport network’s modernization, by defining the public investment’s principles which include major infrastructure projects planned in the frame of the State- Region Investment Plan, and by deciding on their implementation rules.

  • 2018 Activity Report
    2018 Activity report Comments by the Supervisory Board on the 2018 Société du Grand Paris Activity Report In 2018, the Grand Paris Express entered the construction phase. With more than 100 worksites now simultaneously operating in the Île-de- France region, several tunnel boring machines at work on Line 15 South and initial civil engineering works under way on Lines 16 and 14 south of Paris, the scale and momentum of the Paris-area project are now clearly visible. Funding for the Grand Paris Express project was secured through an initial green bond issue in 2018. The project meets the green bond criteria because the new metro system will bring about a significant modal shift, particularly in inter-suburban travel, and will speed up urban densification around its 68 future stations. This funding method also fits with the sustainable development approach taken by Société du Grand Paris from the outset of the works phase, with a major emphasis on local employment. This is the first time that a 100% green bond issuer has raised money in the international markets. With more than 150 investors worldwide, the €1.75 deal was twice oversubscribed. The Supervisory Board is delighted with the success of this bond issue, which shows the international appeal of the Grand Paris Express. Société du Grand Paris, a public agency, changed its organisational structure in 2018. Following Supervisory Board approval in April 2018, Thierry Dallard was appointed Chairman of its Management Board. After the 2019 Finance Law raised its employment cap, Société du Grand Paris is changing its organisation and structure.

This peril is not only the result of the emergence of populist movements that challenge its legitimacy.
