CHARACTERISATION<br />
3 Creil Agglomeration FR<br />
Creil Agglomeration gathers four middle-sized cities and 73.000<br />
inhabitants. At only 25 minutes from Paris by train, it is located in<br />
the Region of Picardie.<br />
Although it may be compared to a suburban city under the<br />
influence of Paris, its identity is quite different: surrounded by a<br />
very green landscape and by touristic and attractive cities<br />
(Chantilly, Compiègne, Amiens)<br />
It is an urban post-industrial agglomeration which benefits from a<br />
dynamic young population and from an outstanding situation at the<br />
crossroads of the railway network, main highways and the Oise<br />
river.<br />
After the industrial crisis of 70’s, Creil agglomeration has had to<br />
face an important urban and economic mutation which is still<br />
ongoing. In such a context, the future high-speed connection to the<br />
Roissy Charles de Gaulle <strong>HUB</strong> is a wonderful opportunity.<br />
LOCAL CHALLENGES<br />
The overlapping of different authorities interfering on specific objects such as a train<br />
station and the difficulty to obtain a quick decision to improve basic services, intermodal<br />
information and shared-tariffs.<br />
The position of medium-sized city does not help to be fairly considered by national<br />
authorities or societies.<br />
To negotiate and buy grounds that are owned by the railway authorities is very difficult<br />
(everywhere in France), yet, reorganizing a high-speed train station in a dense and<br />
urbanized city means being able to develop the city on these abandoned spaces.<br />
Understanding and anticipating the planned development of Great Paris is very difficult<br />
when the city is under its influence but not in its administrative region.<br />
To prepare long-term issues and find financial resources for it while at the same time<br />
having to cope with daily important improvement issues in the train stations and its<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
<strong>Mo</strong>neywise, to understand what financial public resources will be available in the next ten<br />
years to develop our project and/or how much private investment can we hope to create<br />
a real urban and social change.<br />
