More than 50 of the objectives of Paris left bank are carried out. The history began at the end of the 1980s with the establishment of the mixed economy of the city of Paris (Semapa) society, aided in 1991 by the signing of an agreement with SNCF, principal owner of the land, stating that it had unilaterally to sell the land to this young company under supervision. Located along the Seine and bounded by station of Austerlitz to the West and the boulevard périphérique to the East, this vast territory of approximately 130 hectares content between the river and the railway was built in cooperative development (ZAC) area. His first act will remain the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand delivered by young architect Dominique Perrault in 1995 to respond to the command of the President of the Republic. In the aftermath, the sector is called left bank Paris in 1996.
Since then, a huge work has been done by a succession of actors, mayors of Paris and the 13earrondissement, the Semapa managers - currently Jean-François Gueullette - and responsible business, not to mention the structural changes - including the dichotomy between SNCF and RFF (network Ferré de France) - without change of perspective. "We are not in competition with the defence, said Jean-François Gueullette, we want to create one or even several balanced and living quarters that emphasize diversity." Are already made 2,000 family housing, all combined categories and 200 student housing, 450,000 m2 offices, primarily concentrated avenue Pierre-Mendès-France, activities for 73.000 m2et 125.000 m2dédiés higher education the majority owned by the University of Paris Diderot. Finally, some 20,000 m2d' proximity equipment complement the district, not to mention the gardens and landscape public spaces, point always sensitive to the eyes of residents. Jérôme Coumet, Mayor of the 13th (PS) and President of the Semapa, knows full well that Paris left bank (PRG) - representing about one-fifth of the 13th - now part of "neighbourhoods that glow". Considers however that this new development will not shock the sociological equilibrium of the borough, now first University Centre of Paris in the latin quarter. However, he was very attentive to what all degree programs are not concentrated on PRG. His main concern challenges scene the antiphon of the rebalancing of the Parisian East, especially in view of the Paris Grand projects and, more specifically, the fight for the desired line 10 subway extension.
The achievements of the development
For more efficiency, but diversity, PRG has been divided into seven areas, including four main: Austerlitz, Tolbiac, Masséna and Bruneseau. Each was given by competition to a loaded architect-Coordinator to bring his urban vision and monitor architectural projects. More advanced both are Tolbiac, because of the impetus given by the great library, and Masséna North, otherwise known as great Mills district. Christian de Portzamparc, architect-Coordinator, there is widespread evidence of the validity of the concept of island open, consisting of differentiated buildings, various templates, and part of the profile streets. It is to bring the light to the heart of the island and multiply orientations and views. More than 30 architects will have occasionally participated in this adventure of fifteen years, voluntarily advocating the plurality of the architectural entries, for excellence in the most ordinary.
Responding to diversity expected, great Mills headquarters must also its character and its animation to the presence of the University Paris Diderot installed in industrial buildings site (great Mills, flour halle) in several new constructions inserted into the urban district frame, both specialized lessons. Vice-President of the University, François Montarras claims the definition of this implementation imagined as early as 1995 to escape Jussieu and its problems of asbestos which he measured the complication in time and cost. The idea the more difficult to pass was a campus opened fully integrated to the city, assuming a Refoundation of the curriculum in addition to new premises. "The University must be the architect of its project", insists the Vice President. After this important first, it launches a new bet using the procedure of PPP (public-private partnerships) for the four remaining settlements carried out in a record time of consultation in 2008 at the choice of winner (uniqueness, with JWG buildings-group Vinci Group) announced by Valérie Pécresse last July. "The great Mills district will be completed in 2012 before the end of the term in 2014," argued Jean-François Gueullette. "The Semapa is delighted to be able to welcome to the site of the prestigious signatures of French and foreign architects and even young people who have never built in Paris. Moreover, the judgment of the inhabitants in the District of great Mills is very positive: people feel well.
Upcoming projects
"The most complicated remains to be done, says Jean-François Gueullette, almost all of the first instalment was in full ground." We will now have to pass in sur-sol, with tiles to cover the SNCF tracks. To do this, we are dependent on the rail scheme, which must be consistent with our own deadlines. It is impossible to imagine a break of several years in the real estate offer.
At Austerlitz station, the project seems on good track. Comaîtres book, the Semapa and SNCF have organized a market definition between four multi-professionals groups, choosing in June 2007 the proposal of SRN - new Jean - Michel Desvigne as one of the more environmentally friendly heritage and easier to develop. Hospital Pitie-Salpetriere, the largest in Europe with 33 hectares, it is highlighted by the Marie-Curie square close to the Metro air. Rid itself of its parasitic constructions, the great Hall of the Austerlitz station becomes a true pole multimodal, with its flank a new island intaglio including a large hotel.
Mid-life territory stretched on 3.5 kilometres, the halle Freyssinet (ex-Sernam), yesterday in the heart of the debate on the relocation of the tribunal de grande instance of Paris, should be kept more than half of its length in a scenario to define. The space will build social housing and parking in the basement.
At the end, the Bruneseau sector requires an even more proactive conversion strategy, because including device, the interchange and the relationship with Ivry-sur-Seine. Assigned to the workshops Yves Lion, it is based the debate of the high-rise in Paris. "This neighbourhood warrant a certain emphasis." "We are supporters of development of IGH, with caution," said the architect-Coordinator. "We expect the results of the public inquiry to be held from February 10 to March 12, 2010 to benefit apartment up to 50 metres and the towers of offices up to 180 metres", explains Jean-François Gueullette. Moreover, a commercial lane passing under the device is scheduled to make the connection with Ivry. In the same spirit of urban continuity, a green walk across the left set of the neighbourhoods of Paris Rive is to study. The 13th entire district should lead to the Seine at the end of this giant layout.
